It is not your duty or responsibility to change the minds of other people. The nature of their thinking is advanced or limited by their experience. In your presence, they have an opportunity to learn about you and, perhaps, to grow.
When the time comes for you to make a change or to grow, the universe will make you so uncomfortable you will eventually have no choice.
It is important to acknowledge all your feelings and not beat yourself up for having them. Your feelings are not good or bad, they just are.
When you give to others to the degree that you sacrifice yourself, you make the other person a thief.
Instead of running from what you don’t want, walk with commitment toward what you desire. Focus on where you are going rather than being obsessed with where you have been.
You really have to learn what you’re good at and what you’re not good at, what you can handle and what you can’t handle. We have a tendency to forget it.
You’re never healing the level you’re on. You’re always healing the level you came from. For example, you know things today that you didn’t know in your first marriage.
Thinking is the problem. Thinking is hazardous to your progress in life. Don’t think – feel.
Most of us have just learned to exercise our survival muscle. It’s time to build our victory muscle.
Just give yourself permission to tell the truth to yourself.
We have a tendency to always test people’s love. ‘I want to see how badly I have to behave before you’ll leave me. Because I don’t really think you want me anyhow.’
You can accept or reject the way you are treated by other people. But until you heal the wounds of your past, you are going to bleed.
Without the a test you don’t have a testimony.
You must be willing to give total unconditional love to everyone, under all circumstances. That means being willing to be totally responsible for what you do and how you do it.
Sometimes on the journey, you step in dog poop. But you don’t let the whole journey be about the fact that your shoe got poop on it.
In all relationships, regardless of their nature, there comes that moment when you understand that there are some things you will never understand. When you are standing in that moment, just be right with it.
I believe that the only thing that will dispel the darkness is for the light to come on. And the lights are coming on. Here, there. People are eating more vegetables, living green, taking in and saving animals. All of that is the light coming on.
There are two emotions: love and fear.
Abundance is a direct reflection of your preparation to live abundantly. People who are ready for abundance keep their heads up, their eyes open and give thanks for everything they get.
In speaking the truth of your experience to another, it will serve you well to realize that how they choose to respond is not your responsibility.
