what a great quote from a starbucks cup!

The irony of commitment is that it's deeply liberating- in work, in plan, in love. The act frees you from the tyranny of your internal critic, from the fear that likes to dress itself up and parade around as rational hesitation. To commit is to remove your head as the barrier to your life.

--Anne Morriss, Starbucks customer from New York City. She describes herself as an "organization builder, restless American citizen, optimist"

over the past few months, i've learned to view commitment the same way - as frightening as it may appear, once i commit to something there's no need to 'keep looking.' makes life simple. plain & easy... ZEN

XO: we all win when we play the game

why do i try so hard, why do i care so much...when you don't seem to.

why do i let myself feel worthless, undignified, frustrated, pathetic, stupid, duped, resigned, out of control, & confused as hell?

why do i keep generating love like it exists from a fountain that knows no end? does it? sometimes i think it just might stop pumping & i will be an ugly old hag: sad & lonely & cynical... without love in my heart, for even just me alone.

at these moments i remember what i want to create in my life & in the world: abundant love & beauty & peace & inspiration. the walls glow & sparkle like diamonds (*yes!) (but so much cooler because no one gets hurt by them being there.) i am loving to everyone and they know it, just know it. i will be easy-going, calm, and smooth...i need not suffer anymore to know what it is like to be alive. i need not try living up to this idea of me being a saint by being a martyr. i will have ease & freedom, and abundance, and grace, and love, and wealth, and security...i deserve it...and so do you...we all do... 

i love me and i love you. you love you and you love me. simply...just be.
