If you rely exclusively on the advice of others, you may make terrible mistakes. Your heart knows what you need. Other people have other agendas.

Often we take personally the slings and arrows of our 'abusers'. But frequently we are merely the interchangeable pawns of their own neurotic dramas. Anyone else in your position would have received the same treatment. There is nothing especially noxious or negatively noteworthy about you.

Never take a mulligan on a par 3. A "hole in three" is not a fun story to relive.

Forgive the past. It is over. Learn from it and let go. People are constantly changing and growing. Do not cling to a limited, disconnected, negative image of a person in the past. See that person now. Your relationship is always alive and changing.

What is the biggest thing that stops people from living their lives in the present moment? Fear - and we must learn how to overcome fear.

The more you go within, the more you understand your true nature, and the more joy and happiness you feel in your life.

Happiness is really rooted in simplicity. The tendency to excessiveness in thought and action diminishes happiness.
