The problem is that we’re focused on problems rather than tapping into our courage!

We’ve been taught that thinking about our problems and examining them from every angle will help us change our habits and create more fulfilling lives, but we can get just as stuck in the nightmare by thinking too much as we do by doing too much. One hundred years after Sigmund Freud introduced the world to psychoanalysis, we’ve built a common vocabulary to help us understand and talk about every one of our concerns, big or small. While it’s great that we’re more self-aware than we used to be, the so-called talking cure hasn’t actually cured us of our fear . . . nor has it shown us how to live a life of courage……..

Your trust must be total – even the smallest hole in it will sink the boat.

Religion lives on Trust, just as Science thrives on Doubt.

If there is a predominance of religion in the world, it is difficult for science to thrive, very difficult, because the two are based on very different fundamentals. But if your trust is total and you have no doubt inside, then there is no law in this world that your trust cannot vanquish. And there is nothing in this world that your trust cannot make possible. But your trust must be total – even the smallest hole in it will sink the boat.

Sheryl Sandberg’s life-affirming tribute to late husband Dave Goldberg: ‘I want to choose life’

Sheryl Sandberg knows she will never stop grieving for the loss of her husband Dave Goldberg, but one month after his sudden passing, she wants to choose life.”I think when tragedy occurs, it presents a choice. You can give in to the void, the emptiness that fills your heart, your lungs, constricts your ability to think or even breathe. Or you can try to find meaning,” Sandberg wrote in a heartbreaking and remarkable Facebook post on Wednesday.

This marks her most extensive and candid public comments since Goldberg, the beloved chief executive of SurveyMonkey, died suddenly from a severe head trauma while on vacation last month.

“These past thirty days, I have spent many of my moments lost in that void. And I know that many future moments will be consumed by the vast emptiness as well,” she continued. “But when I can, I want to choose life and meaning.”

Love

1 If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal.

2 If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.

3 If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing.

4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.
