Pondering Paradox

For a very long time I have held the belief that all of life's most important "stuff" can be found couched in paradox.

Paradox refers to ideas that appear contradictory or on the surface defy common sense but are in fact the very ideas upon which Life exists and expands. I have learned that to be on the path of my purpose is to learn to be comfortable with paradox.

These are some of my favorites:
  • The more I know the more I realize how much I don't know.
  • We have free-will yet we are not in control
  • When we set our intention for what we desire, we achieve it usually after we release our need to have it.
  • I am the drop of water and the wave.
  • I direct myself, and I am directed.
  • Taking a stand moves me forward.
  • We need to make mistakes in order to learn.
  • As soon as I accept myself as confused, and allow myself to be uncertain, I will be less confused.
  • Good communicators are always good listeners.
  • Clinging to someone or something always results in losing it.
  • We may need to let go of our beliefs and ideas about Life in order to have Life.

In Joy,
