Seize the Moment? Seize the day? Carpe Diem? Maybe not according to the movie Boyhood.  This weeks' quote are from the lines at the end of the movie. I am thinking that I may have to think a bit about my approach to life!

___________

Girl: You know how everyone’s always saying, “Seize the moment​?​”  I don’t know why… I’m kind of thinking it’s the other way around. You know, like, the moment seizes us.

Mason: Yeah… Yeah, I know. It’s constant. The moments… It’s just—It’s like it’s always right now, you know?

​From the movie, ​Boyhood

​__________

Ugh. This quote presents another lesson for me ~ Can I stop pretending ​that ​I am in control and let the moments seize me​?  ​I hope so!  ​What do you do? Do you seize the moment ​ or do you let the moment seize you?

Welcome Back to the Quote of the Week. A little practical advice from Thubten Chodron is this week's Quote of the Week!
__________

“It can be difficult to accept others and to accept ourselves. “I should be better. I should be something different. I should have more.” all of this is conception; it’s all mental fabrication. It’s just the mind churning up “shoulds,” “ought tos,” and “supposed tos.” all this is conceptual rubbish, and yet we believe it. Part of the solution is to recognize that these thoughts are conceptual rubbish and not reality; this gives us the mental space not to believe them. When we stop believing them, it becomes much easier to accept what we are at any given moment, knowing we will change in the next moment. We’ll be able to accept what others are in one moment, knowing that they will be different in the next moment. This is good stuff for everyday practice; it’s very practical."

Welcome Back to the Quote of the Week. It is now time to meet the challenges of a brand new week! If there was a theme to this week's quotes it would be, "It's an inside job!"    

__________

“Being happy is a very personal thing—and it really has nothing to do with anyone else.”

Abraham-Hicks, Getting Into the Vortex

​__________​

"The possibility of making this your best year ever exists in every moment, because having the best year of your life depends not on some outside accomplishment but on allowing the greatest expression of yourself to be unveiled. Having the best year of your life is about becoming the person you always wanted to be. It's about embracing a vision of yourself at your best and developing the qualities that will take you there."

Debbie Ford
