Favourite phrases from Retreat

I can find great joy in anything when I can see myself in everything — because we are all made of the same stuff, and that stuff is inherent joy.

What would happen if I just let go?

Love what you do.  (Do what you love.)

Trust the process.  Don't rush the process; revel in it.

Slow down, and savour.

... in that precious, magical space between thoughts and things, cultivate joy by doing what I love, by doing what brings me joy.

Be moved by joy.

New insights

Oh.  I'm pushing.  I'm pushing against myself!  Against my source.  (As if!)  I will stop pushing and instead allow myself to be moved in the direction of my dreams.

The point is joy!  Don't rush through the process.  Stop trying to skip steps and get there sooner.  Not only are you missing the joy in the unfolding, but the whole point is joy.  Joy is the destination, the "there," and you can be there now.

It's not my job to make things go.  It is my job to let things flow.

The adventure continues...
