Thank you Karl over at Mindful Balance for today’s inspiration.
I will be like a lion today… You?
When you run after your thoughts, you are like a dog chasing a stick:
every time a stick is thrown, you run after it.
Instead, be like a lion who, rather than chasing after the stick, turns to face the thrower.
One only throws a stick at a lion once
Milarepa, Tibetan Buddhism, 1052 – 1135

Love this! I actually turned and faced a thrower last week, and it felt good, I was not attached to the outcome but knew a changed needed to be made for my own well-being, and so I stood tall in my truth. and boy was it scary!! But in the end, it all worked out, so I love coming across this! I’m glad you were inspired!
Stand in your truth Louise! xo

This blog came to life one morning in 2013. I woke up with these words in my mind: “Life is a series of highs and lows. Be grateful for the highs. Be graceful in the lows. And find contentment in your Middle Ground.”
Find Your Middle Ground blog started to explore, reflect, ask deep questions, share insights about awakening, and connect with wonderful people like yourself. Thank you for being here and being such an inspiration.

I’d love to hear from you …
