\"Your
Your Gain Is My Pain, Call Me! ~ Janice Taylor, Weight Loss Coach, Hypnotherapist, Author, Artist, Positarian<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

This morning, I was pondering the concept of accepting reality, letting reality be reality and simply going with the flow vs. stomping my feet, pushing against and fighting the nature of what is, which sent me on a search for \u201creality.\u201d<\/p>\n

Here, 12 Reality Quotes<\/strong> that can give pause for thought, bring a smile to your face and\/or inspire you to peacefully surrender to what is.<\/p>\n

Life is a series of natural and spontaneous changes. Don’t resist them; that only creates sorrow. Let reality be reality. Let things flow naturally forward in whatever way they like. ~ Lao Tzu<\/em><\/p>\n

The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance. ~ Alan Wilson Watts<\/em><\/p>\n

Reality can be beaten with enough imagination. ~ Mark Twain<\/em><\/p>\n

How many legs does a dog have if you call the tail a leg? Four. Calling a tail a leg doesn’t make it a leg. ~ Abraham Lincoln<\/em><\/p>\n

Reality is frequently inaccurate. ~ Douglas Adam<\/em><\/p>\n

Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one. ~ Albert Einstein<\/em><\/p>\n

The more clearly we can focus our attention on the wonders and realities of the universe about us, the less taste we shall have for destruction. ~ Rachel Carson<\/em><\/p>\n

Reality leaves a lot to the imagination. ~ John Lennon<\/em><\/p>\n

Reality doesn’t impress me. I only believe in intoxication, in ecstasy, and when ordinary life shackles me, I escape, one way or another. No more walls. ~ Anais Nin<\/em><\/p>\n

Thinking something does not make it true. Wanting something does not make it real. ~ Michelle Hodkin<\/em><\/p>\n

One person\u2019s craziness is another person\u2019s reality. ~ Tim Burton<\/em><\/p>\n

You don’t get explanations in real life. You just get moments that are absolutely, utterly, inexplicably odd. ~ Neil Gaiman<\/em><\/p>\n
