Self-Fulfilling Prophecies

The Law of Detachment

Something that I became aware of today is that, if you focus on your big priorities, all of the little things will settle.  Ryuho Okawa said “just let go of the smaller things. You will find that your heart feels much lighter. I believe that living with simplicity and grace is a truly wise way […]
