Pete Holmes Quotes

Do not seek to bring things to pass in accordance with your wishes, but wish for them as they are, and you will find them.

Life is a lot easier when you realize that you're not in control of it all.

When I try to go with what's happening and embrace that as much as I can, it seems to be a much smoother journey for me.

Accept what you cannot control.

Acceptance is the embracing of what happens. Acceptance is a way of getting in touch with the deeper, timeless dimension of aware presence, simply through accepting that this is what is happening or this is what I am feeling or thinking.

I'd realize it's not worth our time to worry. You do your best, and God will put the right people in your path.

Surrender to the flow.

Happiness is a continuation of happenings which are not resisted.

If we can remain present and deal with the moment in front of us, no matter what our battle, then if we lose, we'll know that ultimately we weren't supposed to win that battle in the first place.

When the universe throws something your way, or things happen, I'm one of those people that goes with it, and I don't fight it.

Wisdom. . .is knowing what you have to accept.

Healing is a coming to terms with things as they are, rather than struggling to force them to be as they once were, or as we would like them to be, to feel secure or to have what we sometimes think of as our own way.

If you were wise enough to know that this life would consist mostly of letting go of things you wanted, then why not get good at the letting go, rather than the trying to have?

I will practice acceptance. Today I will accept people, situations, circumstances, and events as they occur. I will know that this moment is as it should be, because the whole universe is as it should be. I will not struggle against the whole universe by struggling against this moment. My acceptance is total and complete. I accept things as they are this moment, not as I wish they were.

Move with the flow. Don't fight the current. Resist nothing. Let life carry you. Don't try to carry it.

We can stop struggling with what occurs and see its true face without calling it the enemy. It helps to remember that our spiritual practice is not about accomplishing anything - not about winning or losing - but about ceasing to struggle and relaxing as it is. That is what we are doing when we sit down to meditate. That attitude spreads into the rest of our lives.

Do not abandon trust when your ego thinks things should be different than they are.

Flow with whatever may happen and let your mind be free.
