Contemplative Monday


I habitually 'suffer' from seeking resolution to something I feel needs it.
This is a good lesson for me.

The following quote is from 'Heart Advice, Weekly Quotes from Pema Chodron'.

WE DON'T DESERVE RESOLUTION


"As human beings, not only do we seek resolution, but we also feel that we deserve resolution.


However, not only do we not deserve resolution, we suffer from resolution.


We don't deserve resolution; we deserve something better than that.


We deserve our birthright, which is the middle way, 
an open state of mind that can relax with paradox and ambiguity.


To the degree that we've been avoiding uncertainty, 
we're naturally going to have withdrawal symptoms----


withdrawal from always thinking that there's a problem
and that someone, somewhere, needs to fix it."
