The act of giving is simply a behavior, and the gift merely a symbol. It is the energy behind both that will determine their impact on our lives.

In our lives, we can either be a reflection of the world around us . . . or a beam that enlightens the lives of others.

Regardless of the problem, as long as our solution requires someone else to change, we will never know the power and promise of self-determination.

Never define yourself in terms of how you are negatively affected by others.

The act of giving is simply a behavior, and the gift merely a symbol. It is the energy behind both that will determine their impact on our lives.

Everything that happens in our lives is "good information" about the degree to which our choices are working for us. We can, however, choose to believe that we are a victim of the world we see, and have no choices. And, of course, we will receive "good information" about this belief as well.

Love will keep us safe when we commit to choosing the kind of qualities, characteristics, and relationships that we would recommend to someone we love.
