What are you rushing about for, might one ask in a friendly way. Why did you dash out of the house this morning as if a tiger were after you?
The Life That Is You
Remove what weighs heavily on you from the scale. Have you not weighed it over and over again? Invest as heavily in joy.

In the fairy tale Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, every day the Wicked Queen would ask “Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the fairest one of all?”
So often we spend most of our time taking care of our physical needs. We make sure our bodies are fed, cleaned, clothed, exercised and rested. We also make sure intellectual stimulation and entertainment is a priority. Yet we also overlook the most important need — love.
Worry can take a perfectly wonderful day and make it a living hell. Why do we do that to ourselves?
Worry cannot exist when we live completely in the present moment. In the present moment, we deal with “what is,” not with “what might happen.” In present moment living, our whole being becomes engaged with what is happening.
1. The Principle of “Letting Whatever Happens Be Okay” – The amount a person suffers in their life is directly related to how much they are resisting the fact that “things are the way they are.” If there is suffering or discomfort, there is resistance. Addictions or attachments to things being different than they are need to be upgraded to preferences, so when “what is” is not what you want it to be, you do not suffer over it and your happiness and peace are therefore not controlled by forces outside of your control.
When there is love in your heart, you truly are not thinking about yourself. That is what love is.
