"Stress happens when the mind resists what is. The brain and the mind are different. The brain is a great tool and founder of the heart; the mind creates resistance to change and paradox and humor; the mind creates fear unnecessarily, not the brain. When troubling thoughts and memories arise without your intent, it's not your brain working but your mind wandering...the tractor that has run wild. Your mind, not other people or surroundings is the source of your moods."
"You don't have to do anything except to stop seeing the world form the viewpoint of your own personal cravings. Loosen up! When you lose your mind, you'll come to your senses. By "losing your mind", it is not referring to going insane or becoming irrational. On the contrary, it is paying attention to the reality around you, rather than merely thinking about it."
--Wisdom of the Peaceful Warrior, by Dan Millman (world class gymnast)
