Although you may have never sat down and defined what your philosophy is, it is fully operative and working in your life at all times. It deals with what you believe about the world in which you live, about its people and events, about how you affect them.

The Universe doesn’t make mistakes. Everything is happening just as it should. It’s only our perception of difficulties that causes us the distress and the difficulty we experience. Not only that, but when we label events as ‘bad,' we fail to perceive the benefit that is waiting for us.

Stress comes from the way you relate to events or situations.

When people who believe themselves to be addicts or alcoholics come under great stress or trauma, they mentally give themselves permission to drink or use drugs as a remedy.

The more you engage in any type of emotion or behavior, the greater your desire for it will become.

Embrace simplicity…be content with what you have and are, and not one can despoil you.

Happiness comes from our response to the conditions of our lives.
