Talking Secular Toolbelt.....Fun!

Hi all!

I thought if would be fun if we could post helpful slogans and tips to put in our secular toolbelt. They can be sayings, slogans, even book ideas with a brief intro. We'd like this toolbelt to be heavy duty, like those construction workers wear so there's plenty of room to pack lots of stuff in it.

Rather than just providing links to other recovery methods, please pick out some singular jewels to put in the tool belt so we can bring them out and toss them around.

I'll give it a whirl:

"Unease, anxiety, tension, stress, worry — all forms of fear — are caused by too much future, and not enough presence in the moment. Guilt, regret, resentment, grievances, sadness, bitterness, and all forms of nonforgiveness are caused by too much past, and not enough presence in the moment." - Page 50 The Power of Now by Echhart Tolle

Moral of the story? When we are mindful in the present moment, states of unease may rise, but then will dissipate without any action or reaction on our part.

Okay, who's next?
