Tara's Quote

When I read this quote on Tara's blog I decided I wanted to reprint it here. I learned acceptance when I was little watching someone close to me relentlessly try and transform others, and be frustrated when she couldn't. As a result it embedded itself deeply into my being and I sincerely believe in following my own path, and appreciating others as they follow theirs. Tolle sums it up beautifully:

As far as inner transformation is concerned, there is nothing you can do about it. You cannot transform yourself, and you certainly cannot transform your partner or anybody else. All you can do is create space for transformation to happen, for grace and love to enter.
–Eckhart Tolle
