“Most of us do not take these situations as teachings.it just keeps returning with new names, forms, manifestations until we learn whatever it has to teach us about where we are separating ourselves from reality, how we are pulling back instead of opening up, closing down instead of allowing ourselves to experience fully whatever we encounter, without hesitating or retreating into ourselves.”― Pema Chödrön, When Things Fall Apart: Heart Advice for Difficult Times if we run a hundred miles an hour to the other end of the continent in order to get away from the obstacle, we find the very same problem waiting for us when we arrive. but what we find as practitioners is that nothing ever goes away until it has taught us what we need to know. maybe the only enemy is that we don’t like the way reality is now and therefore wish it would go away fast. perhaps there is no solid obstacle except our own need to protect ourselves from being touched. “nothing ever goes away until it has taught us what we need to know…nothing ever really attacks us except our own confusion.”― Pema Chödrön, When Things Fall Apart: Heart Advice for Difficult Times. To live is to be willing to die over and over again. To live fully is to be always in no-man's-land, to experience each moment as completely new and fresh. “To be fully alive, fully human, and completely awake is to be continually thrown out of the nest.“Rather than letting our negativity get the better of us, we could acknowledge that right now we feel like a piece of shit and not be squeamish about taking a good look.”― Pema Chödrön, When Things Fall Apart: Heart Advice for Difficult Times.“The most difficult times for many of us are the ones we give ourselves.”― Pema Chodron, When Things Fall Apart: Heart Advice For Difficult Times.“Fear is a natural reaction to moving closer to the truth”― Pema Chodron, When Things Fall Apart: Heart Advice for Difficult Times.“The most fundamental aggression to ourselves, the most fundamental harm we can do to ourselves, is to remain ignorant by not having the courage and the respect to look at ourselves honestly and gently.”― Pema Chödrön, When Things Fall Apart: Heart Advice for Difficult Times.Here are some things fall apart quotes according to Goodreads.
