Difficult times always create opportunities for you to experience more love in your life.

The more anger towards the past you carry in your heart, the less capable you are of loving in the present.

Love makes every space sacred and every moment meaningful . . .

That experience showed me that I-from moment to moment-am the only person in control of my connection to God. It's not that God is deciding to connect with me, depending on whether I had a good day, or did good or bad deeds. It's all up to me. God, the awareness of God, the love of God, the blessings of God-that lively ecstasy-is always there. It's me who separates from God by judging, by indulging in negativity, by criticizing myself, as well as others.

What allows us, as human beings, to psychologically survive life on earth, with all of its pain, drama, and challenges, is a sense of purpose and meaning

No one is in control of your happiness but you; therefore, you have the power to change anything about yourself or your life that you want to change.

When you make a commitment to a relationship, you invest your attention and energy in it more profoundly because you now experience ownership of that relationship.
