“Suppose you are drinking a cup of tea. When you hold the cup, you may like to breath in, to bring your mind back to your body, and you become fully present. You must be completely awake in the present to enjoy the tea. Only in the awareness of the present, can your hands feel the pleasant warmth of the cup. Only in the present, can you savor the aroma, taste the sweetness, appreciate the delicacy. If you are ruminating about the past, or worrying about the future, you will completely miss the experience of enjoying the cup of tea. You will look down at the cup, and the tea will be gone. Life is like that. If you are not fully present, you will look around and it will be gone. You will have missed the feel, the aroma, the delicacy and beauty of life. It will seem to be speeding past you. The past is finished. Learn to let it go. The future is not even here yet. Plan for it, but do not waste your time worrying about it. Worrying is worthless. When you stop ruminating about what has already happened, when you stop
worrying about what might never happen, then you will be in the present moment. Then you will begin to enjoy the joy in life.” ~ Thich Nhat Hanh

“We can never know the long term effects of any single act. What may appear as immediate and visual, contains a tail that drags far beyond the body of occurrence. Whether the attributes of good or bad are contained within this tail depends largely on the spirit in which the act was carried out.” ~ Chris W Metz

“It's what each of us sows, and how, that gives us character and prestige.

“As we venture through this physical life, we continually tend to our garden. We plant things that bring us strength, nourishment and joy. We begin by nurturing our relationships that in turn nourish and feed us. We plant the things that make us feel good about ourselves, nourishing those things we are proud of. Lastly, we cultivate the things we wish to look upon with beauty and satisfaction. Each day we are sowing seeds and providing nutrients in the way of thoughts and action, thereby encouraging their growth. As with any garden, weeds are bound to appear sprouting from anger, hatred, judgment, jealousy, fear and guilt. By holding on to these emotions and recalling the events that led to those feelings, we allow the weeds to take root and eventually take over our life. In this metaphorical garden they cannot be pulled out, instead they must be starved by withholding the thoughts and discontinuing the actions that promoted their growth.” ~ Chris W Metz, The Road Out Of The Abyss

“Weeds grow easily, but flowers need care and nurturing to bloom. Weeds will grow in every garden of dreams. rather than tending to these weeds, take the time to nurture the sweetness of the flowers. Over time they will grow abundant and choke out the weeds. In every moment with every new thought, we are planting seeds of beauty and nurturing them or tending to our weeds. In every thought we are planting or nurturing. The plants which do not receive attention or further thought will die. Those that are nurtured, given attention, and brought into the light, will
eventually grow large and bear the fruit of our nurturing. We are always in a state of creating, of watering, and bringing life to
our thoughts.” ~ Chris W Metz, The Road Out Of The Abyss

“We must create in our consciousness from the standpoint of having the reality we want as already done! Wishing and hoping brings more reality of wishing and hoping. It must be a feeling of already done, along with the feelings associated with this state. A sense of gratitude is the foundation of this state. We cannot just say the words and go through the motions, we have to genuinely feel it inside. By nature, there is no fooling the
law that makes it possible.” ~ Chris W Metz

Why do we so easily become angry? We do so because we are attached to our view of who we are, to self-importance, to the concept of "I." When the concept of "I” is threatened, “I” very often strikes out in fear, in anger. ~ Unknown

“The Ego is incapable of true love. Love to the ego is a ‘giving to get’ philosophy. It is conditional love based upon what the ego receives in return, always keeping score, measuring what is given verses what is received. To give generously without regard to reciprocity is the unconditional love emanating from spirit. This is a love which does not favor or hold bias in the direction of its giving.” ~ Chris W Metz, The Road Out Of The Abyss

"When the ego dominates, we assess where we stand, high or low, in any situation. We subtly put others in their place. Under the influence of grace, this behavior changes, because you genuinely feel no higher and no lower than anyone else. A tremendous relief accompanies this realization. So much energy is wasted protecting our dignity, status, pride and accomplishments." ~ Deepak Chopra

“There is no substitution for the care and love that goes into a gesture…You can’t expect a result that is greater than the effort. This is true in all of life. To think that our gesture or gift will mean something more than the effort we put into it, is to truly deceive ourselves, and yet this is what many of us do in life. We put forth very little effort expecting something more in return. We cannot feign gratitude and thoughtfulness, it is either a genuine feeling or it is a hollow gesture.” ~ Chris W Metz, The Road Out Of The Abyss

“When we are content with all we presently have, we possess the basis for experiencing true happiness. Many get caught up in the trap of always needing more, the ‘if only I had X’ then I would be happy syndrome. If only I had more money, a better job, a better spouse, a nicer car, etc.. We can never be truly happy unless we celebrate and relish what we already have on a daily basis. Happiness and contentment comes from within and can never be found outside ourselves. Those that possess genuine happiness remain in such a state regardless of their current circumstances or the ebb and flow of material possessions. Joy is a state of consciousness arrived at when we are thankful for what we already have.” ~ Chris W Metz, The Road Out Of The Abyss

Find someone who isn’t afraid to admit they miss you. Someone who knows you are not perfect but treats you as if you are. Someone whose biggest fear is losing you. One who gives their heart completely. Someone who says “I love you” and means it. Last but not least, find someone who wouldn’t mind waking up with you in the morning, seeing you in wrinkles and your gray hair but still falls for you all over again. ~ Unkown

Try not to confuse “attachment” with “love.” Attachment is about fear and dependency, and has more to do with love of self than love of another. Love without attachment is the purest love because it isn’t about what others can give you because your empty. It is about what you can give others because your already full. ~ Yasmin Mogahed

“Where Am I”
"Look around you and within you, I am there, in a flower that lifts its face to you, in the morning’s dew. Inside you where your peace abides I am beside you. In the sun that warms your face or a gentle breeze. In a cup clasped as it’s raised to your lips, I am there. Inside you deep within, you take me in with each breath you breathe. In the swaying of the trees and the rippling stream, I am there. In your emotion of love or a tender embrace, in a smile you see, in the laughter of life, listen carefully you will hear me. In the unconscious part of you I am already one with you. In that part of your heart that feels a presence not seen, I reside there with each beat and pulsing of life. Though you may be unaware, I am part of you. That part which bears no physical sight. Part of your mind that is shrouded not seen. There from a time from before time began. I have always been with you and you with me and so I am." ~ Chris W Metz
