Everyday Buddhism: Making Everyday Better

Everyday Buddhism 73 - Confined to Align with Ashley Lyn Olson


Listen Later

Join me for a very special conversation with Ashley Lynn Olson, the author of the book, Confined to Align, and the author of a life that has consistently defied the odds. And that is, in no small part, due to her unbelievable spirit and ability to steer her thoughts, emotions, … and her life into the positive.

As you will hear, Ashley has overcome obstacles in her life that would knock many of so far down we would have trouble ever looking up again, including a car accident that killed her father and paralyzed her when she was fourteen years old.

But she demonstrates an amazing attitude—dare I say a "Buddhist" way of seeing life—evident from this quote from her book:

"Choose to choose. Feeling confined is a choice…. Choose compassion for yourself and those around you. Choose to see your situation as an opportunity to expand internally, or better yet, as a moment in time-space to re-align and focus on your path of well-being and purpose…."
