Life is NOT "Supposed to be Fair."
Know that there is no single way that life is "supposed" to be.
Demanding that life meet our expectations
is a sure fire recipe for a miserable existence.

to receiving whatever life throws at us -
with Gratitude. Have NO Expectations of life.

choose to take "pay it forward" farther - much farther.

- Osho
When you cry and weep,
when you are miserable,
you are alone.
When you celebrate,
the whole existence participates with you.

do we meet the ultimate, the eternal.
Only in celebration
do we go beyond the circle of birth and death.
- Osho
What is a miracle? To some, it is an act of God.
To others, something amazing, extraordinary, or unexpected.
To me, Life is a miracle.
Everything that happens is a miracle.
There is no reason for me to exist as I do -
no reason for humanity, the universe, or the laws of Nature.
Energy, mass, gravity and the rest of existence
are all so improbable.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie
The heart is always right -
if there's a question of choosing between the mind and the heart -

The heart is unpolluted.
- Osho
