“Life is actually a series of encounters in which one event may change those that follow in a wholly unpredictable, even devastating way.”

“I had made the vital realisation that my life was a series of events in which one merely had to keep on putting one foot in front of the other”

“A chief event of life is the day in which we have encountered a mind that startled us.”

“Life is unpredictable and it doesn't follow a map.”

“Quoting from Phillip MoffittWill Yoga and Meditation Really Change My Life?The most profound change I’m aware of just now is a growing realization that life is not personal. This may seem a surprising or even strange view to those unfamiliar with Eastern spirituality, but it has powerful implications. It’s very freeing to see that events in my life are arising because of circumstances in which I am not involved, but that I’m not at the center of them in any particular way. They’re impersonal. They’re arising because of causes and conditions. They are not “me.” There is a profound freedom in this. It makes life much more peaceful and harmonious because I’m not in reaction to events all the time. (134)”

“Deal with each situation as best as you can. Life is only a series of events. You're here one day and you're there the next. We can't change the past, but we can continue to live positive for the future.”
