Seeking solace in a swirling world? This week's quote offers a timeless recipe for inner peace. It comes from Roland Merullo's novel, "Dessert with Buddha," where a wise character (Volya Rinpoche) shares this wisdom with Otto.

"Inside the big world, you make a small one, Otto.
Inside that small world, there's the quiet.
Inside that quiet, you gonna feel this love all the time, okay?"

Roland Merullo's, "Dessert with Buddha

 Welcome to the Quote of the Week! Your presence, exactly as is at this very moment, is greatly appreciated! Life throws many challenges our way, leaving some downtrodden while others rise with renewed strength. What makes the difference? Is it an inherent resilience, or a fortitude developed through hardship? Maya Angelou offers a powerful insight in this week's quote...  

 

"You may encounter many defeats, but you must not be defeated.
In fact, it may be necessary to encounter the defeats,
so you can know who you are, what you can rise from,
how you can still come out of it."

Maya Angelou

Welcome back to the Quote of the Week! ~ Serving the Psycho-Spiritual Needs of People on the Go since 1983!  Ever feel bogged down by paranoia or mistrust? With his quote, Rob Brezsny flips the script with the concept of "pronoia," as a way of seeing the universe in a whole new light!

“Pronoia is the antidote for paranoia. It’s the understanding that the universe is fundamentally friendly. It’s a mode of training your senses and intellect so you’re able to perceive the fact that life always gives you exactly what you need, exactly when you need it.”

Question of the Week: Have you ever felt a sense of serendipity, 

as though life’s events were aligning to propel you forward? 

(This sensation is at the heart of pronoia, the belief that the universe is conspiring in your favor).

 Welcome to the Quote of the Week ~   Thoughtful quotes that hopefully inspire and brighten your day!  

Do you ever wonder, like I do, what is our place in this vast universe?  Albert Einstein delves into this profound question in his insightful quote: 

"Each of us is here for a brief sojourn; for what purpose he knows not, 

though he sometimes thinks he senses it. But without deeper reflection 

one knows from daily life that one exists for other people." 

Albert Einstein
