The following quote is from: 'Heart Advice, Weekly Quotes From Pema Chodron'.
TRANSITIONAL BEINGS
"In a book I read recently, the author talked about humans
as transitional beings.......
beings that are neither fully caught or fully free
but are in the process of awakening.
I find it helpful to think of myself this way.
I'm in the process of becoming, in the process of evolving.
I'm neither doomed nor completely free,
but I'm creating my future with every word,
every action, every thought.
I find myself in a very dynamic situation with unimaginable potential.
I have all the support I need to simply relax and be with the transitional,
in-process quality of my life.
I have all I need in the process of awakening."
