I love this quote by Alan Watts because it reminds me that the gateway to freedom lies in the ability to meet each moment just as it is...without struggle or judgment. Often during challenging times it takes a great deal of courage to sit with the moment that is being presented to us. However, by practicing mindfulness, we let experience be the teacher and leave ourselves open to receive the understanding that will unfold naturally.
“The art of living is neither careless drifting on the one hand nor fearful clinging 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
