To this day, I fondly recall the words of my first buddhist teacher, an old Tibetan—“be brave, no matter what happens here”, he used to say.

Given enough time and experience, most of us realize that healing does not come from talking endlessly about our problems, nor from thinking about them either. You can’t get up the mountain without actually moving.

When we choose to accept reality as it is, and not as we want it to be—suffering stops.

We cannot change what has happened to us-but we can learn to rely on the vital part of ourselves that survived—and that is often enough to transform the reality of our experience.

Be Brave and keep moving ~ Roen
