"What stands in the way becomes the way" is rooted in Stoic philosophy and the teachings of Marcus Aurelius. It offers a powerful perspective on life's challenges. It suggests that obstacles are not merely barriers to be overcome, but integral to our path forward. By facing difficulties head-on, we can develop resilience, creativity, strength, and wisdom. These challenges in front of us aren't just hurdles; they are essential to our growth and success, shaping us into stronger and wiser individuals. Rather than avoiding obstacles, this mindset encourages us to view them as vital steps in our journey of personal development.

Canadian Actor, Jim Carrey, age 62

“After knowing Eckhart Tolle for a while and studying the books, I woke up and suddenly got it.

I understood suddenly how thought is just illusory, and that thought is responsible for most, if not all of the suffering we experience.

And then I suddenly felt like I was looking at thoughts from another perspective, and I wondered, who is it that is aware that 'I' am thinking?

And suddenly I was thrown into this expansive amazing feeling of freedom - from myself, from my problems. I saw that I am bigger than what I do, bigger than my body. I am everything and everyone. I am no longer a fragment of the universe. I am the universe."

“Life is so beautiful, especially when I'm absent from it..."

Trailblazer Bobbi Gibbs’ Defiant Run Boston Marathon

Boston Marathon, April 15th, 2024: today let’s also celebrate Bobbi Gibbs, who in 1966 broke the marathon's gender barrier in dramatic fashion. Denied entry for being a woman, Gibbs refused to accept 'no' for an answer. She was told: “Women are not physiologically able to run a marathon, and we can’t take the liability.”

Dressed in Bermuda shorts, a hoodie, and a pair of men’s sneakers, she stealthily joined the race from the bushes at the starting line, ready to face arrest to prove a point. Surprisingly, the male runners around her pledged their support, promising to protect her right to compete. When she finally shed her sweatshirt, revealing her identity, the crowd's cheers, not jeers, filled the air, transforming the atmosphere into one of celebration and support.

Men cheered, and Women cried as she crossed the finish line, having outrun two-thirds of the competitors, the governor of Massachusetts was there to congratulate her.

Gibbs' daring run not only challenged the status quo but paved the way for Kathrine Switzer's official entry the following year, marking a pivotal moment in women's sports. Let's honor these women who ran fearlessly, changing history with every step of the way.
