Breathe in a smile; breathe out a chuckle. (You can do it.)

That which you seek, is causing you to seek.

A person who is without fear cannot be controlled.

What we do about our feelings determines the quality of our relationship with ourselves.

Every time we choose safety, we reinforce fear.

Here is my wish for you and every other child, woman, and man on the face of the earth: Spend one week saying only kind, caring things to yourself. Say thank you at least ten times an hour, direct five toward yourself and five to the world at large. Compliment yourself (and others) each time an effort is made. Notice all the wonderful qualities and characteristics about yourself and those around you. One week. You will never go back. And your whole life will be a glorious meditation.

When we come to that compassionate awareness that is not afraid of the fear, that can embrace the fear, we are able to heal the wounds of the child and the adult and begin to live the lives we've always wanted to live.
