The art of living… is neither careless drifting on the one hand nor fearful clinging to the past on the other. It consists in being sensitive to each moment, in regarding it as utterly new and unique, in having the mind open and wholly receptive.
We are not meant to stay wounded. We are supposed to move through our tragedies and challenges and to help each other move through the many painful episodes of our lives. By remaining stuck in the power of our wounds, we block our own transformation. We overlook the greater gifts inherent in our wounds — the strength to overcome them and the lessons that we are meant to receive through them. Wounds are the means through which we enter the hearts of other people. They are meant to teach us to become compassionate and wise.

Remember how blessed you are
We all have something bad crossing our paths from time to time and although it might feel like the end of the world, remember that it could be worse. If you have only R1000 to your name, remember that there is someone else that only has R100 to their name. If you feel you have been betrayed by a loved one, remember that someone else has lost a loved one.
