life is beautiful ...

my experiences as I strive to be in the now, or simply, just be. my battles and struggles. my victories and celebrations. life is indeed beautiful - simply by virtue of being life. so in celebration of being alive, my random musings, as life unfolds.

more pearls of wisdom from cainer

i love this piece from cainer. it's from a few days back but i happened to read it n wanted to jot it down here.. now the last line is where i seem to fumble. i am clearly not handling this as well as i can or should.

"They don't hold grudges in heaven. They can't. They simply don't let you in if you've got any. If, when you leave this world, you can't bring yourself to leave your resentment behind you, you have to go to the hot place instead. That's what hell is. An experience of being unable to let go! That's also why both heaven and hell are places on earth. Often, they are one and the same place. It's not what's happening, it's how you're handling it. If you now want to turn a hard experience into a heavenly one, you can."
