"By replacing fear of the unknown with curiosity we open ourselves up to an infinite stream of possibility. We can let fear rule our lives or we can become childlike with curiosity, pushing our boundaries, leaping out of our comfort zones, and accepting what life puts before us."

"Being carefree, you can fit in anywhere. If you’re not carefree you keep on bumping up against things. Your life becomes so narrow, so tight; it gets very claustrophobic. Carefree means being wide open from within, not constricted. Carefree doesn’t mean careless. It is not that you don’t care about others, not that you don’t have compassion or are unfriendly. Carefree is being really simple, from the inside. Dignity is not conceit but rather what shines forth from this carefree confidence."
~Tsoknyi Rinpoche

Thanks for these gems of wisdom.
HEHE... I would never go sky diving with you AOM. You would be the one that pushes me out the door when I am scared to let go. Just like you keep pushing me with quotes like Watts' haha.
You know my weakness is letting go, but you keep on encouraging me... Thanks!
