  • “The art of living... is neither careless drifting on the one hand nor fearful clinging to the past on the other. It consists in being sensitive to each moment, in regarding it as utterly new and unique, in having the mind open and wholly receptive.” ― Alan Watts

    The best advice I have heard. If you feel guilty about something don’t do it again. So simple. Your past does not define your future. Move on and be happy before it’s too late and forgive yourself.

    I feel as if Alan's words will become more and more fitting and needed for us as time goes on.
  • Your life is only wasted if you're trying to live up to the ideas others have tried to convince you that have to live up to, else they judge it as a waste. That feeling of guilt is there (and should be) because you continue to collectively allow the things that make you feel that way to happen, simply by saying that's just the way it is, and I can do nothing. When you decide you can do something, and you create the way that it is....Poof...That guilt fades away like a fart in the wind. You don't fix problems by ignoring them, you face them, and when you start solving them happiness comes for along for the ride.

    Worry solves nothing it destroys the body and soul 😌
  • I don't feel guilt, I feel injustice for never being paid what I've deserved. Now I don't work and never will again!

    Just live and let live. You control yourself and what you want to happen. Anything can and will happen regarding the positive or negative output you give.
  • The ascending has happened to many. And we know many things that are beyond your understanding. All I can say to help you have peace in these most horrible times, is love everyone unconditionally and forgive all things forever. This will keep you sane and at peace. 😊
