October Lessons for Learning

1. Breathe and be patient. Things take time, and we don't fault flowers for needing care.
2. You don’t have to compromise what you love for who you love.
3. The day is worth waking up for. Even when the thoughts tell you to stay in bed.
4. “Just be who you are. Calm and clear and bright. Automatically, as we shine who we are, asking ourselves every minute, is this what  I really want to do, doing it only when we answer yes, automatically that turns away those who have nothing to learn from who we are and attracts those who do, and from whom we have to learn, as well." - Richard Bach, Illusions
5. It can’t hurt you, unless you allow it to.
6. Ask for help. It’s okay.
7. Think more about what you want and less about what you don’t.
8. "Unease, anxiety, tension, stress, worry—all forms of fear—are caused by too much future, and not enough presence. Guilt, regret, resentment, grievances, sadness, bitterness, and all forms of non-forgiveness are caused by too much past, and not enough presence". - Eckhart Tolle
9. That is why it is so important to let certain things go. To release them. To cut loose… Complete the circle. Not our of pride, inability or arrogance, but simply because what it is no longer fits in your life. Close the door, change the record, clean the house, get rid of the dust. Stop being who you were and become who you are. - Paulo Coelho, The Zahir
10. Everything changes, you can too.
11. Forward is the only way to move.
12. You get to craft the reality that you want.
13. "There's not a single human on this planet who isn't scared of risks. But those of us who lean into it and don't flinch, we're the ones who succeed. So trust your gut. Find the path and start walking down it." - C.C. Chapman.
