don’t focus on outcomes

Posted on October 4, 2012 by elizabeth

Pummeling ever-forward, ever-faster, higher, giving 110%! No. Stop all this: How will it end? What if it doesn’t last? How will I go on? What if…?

Instead, live right here in this moment. Be still. Be quiet. Your safe place is right here.

Home is not a heavenly mansion in the afterlife but a safe place right in the midst of our anxious world. –Brennan Manning

    My heart aches for you, EE. I’d like to give you a hug and one of my favorite quotes, taken from Moby Dick: “But even so, amid the tornadoed Atlantic of my being, do I myself still
    for ever centrally disport in mute calm; and while ponderous planets of
    unwaning woe revolve round me, deep down and deep inland there I still
    bathe me in eternal mildness of joy.”

    I love Brennan Manning. And I loved your post about what you’re learning in counseling. Praying for rest, growth and healing, and that you can feel the loving arms of our Abba around you.
