Pema Chodron Quotes
Our Personal Demons Come In Many Guises. We Experience Them As Shame, As Jealousy, As Abandonment, As Rage. They Are Anything That Makes Us So Uncomfortable That We Continually Run Away. We Do The Big Escape: We Act Out, Say Something, Slam A Door, Hit Someone, Or Throw A Pot As A Way Of Not Facing What's Happening In Our Hearts. Or We Shove The Feelings Under And Somehow Deaden The Pain. We Can Spend Our Whole Lives Escaping From The Monsters Of Our Minds. All Over The World, People Are So Caught In Running That They Forget To Take Advantage Of The Beauty Around Them. We Become So Accustomed To Speeding Ahead That We Rob Ourselves Of Joy.
