[Debrasue Binzley]

Write this down and keep it in your pocket if you need to:

• Not all your thoughts are true.

• You suffer because you argue with reality.

Your mind is a storyteller without a fact checker, so some thoughts are absurd, ridiculous, or total BS. Don't believe everything you think.

We think that if we resist reality, we display strength, independence, and power, but true power isn't in resistance, it's in how you meet reality.

Acceptance is not approval, it's just the opposite of denial. "Buddha" means awake, meaning we look at reality with our eyes wide open rather than averting our gaze from whatever we dislike.

My personal goal in life isn't to have everything unfold to my preference, it's to have no preferences and to accept it all with gratitude.

"For all that has been, Thanks. For all that shall be, Yes!"
