Chasing after a pleasure to ease a pain is like running after a breeze to cool you down.
Much like the hands of a clock go nowhere fast, anxious thoughts run us round-and-round without taking us anywhere!
Never run from what you don't understand, as it will be waiting for you every time you come to a stop.
The mistake we have made in our lives is that over and over again we've run into the needful moment and then failed to learn its higher lesson. We don't like needful moments and therefore we resist them.
