  1. The words in this post can help me simplify my life. To cut away worries when I don't need to worry about others. It's so easy getting caught up in stress and worry and old patterns of being. But it doesn't have to be that way does it?

  2. Haha. When I first realized this - the power of it went right through my life like an iron fist! It meant no more blaming others for my suffering, it meant no more blaming myself for my suffering :) This has been one of the most important creeds I have learn't from Swami Durgananda, she was the first person to breathe those words into my life. How empowering! Responsibility is awesome. It presses right up against every decision. And its so humbling. The knowledge that I alone are responsible for me has forced me evolve, it was a right of passage into adulthood, into spiritual conviction. In itself it feels like a fundamental universal law.
