A computer cannot manufacture new information. That's the difference between our brain and a computer.

If you examine your motive for doing anything, you'll soon discover that your reason is that you believe it will make you happy.

The true source of happiness is within each of us.

Every person in the AA program who's successful is living proof that he or she does have power over addictive drugs and alcohol- the power to stop.

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.

How do you change what you believe when your experience has convinced you otherwise? By creating a new experience. The best way for you to get that new experience is to change your response to what happens. By the natural law of cause and effect, that new response will create new results, which you will then experience as a new reality. To reach the goal of happiness, act as though the following statement is already true: Everything that happens to me is the best thing that can happen to me.

You can be happy if you are willing to let go of your past and leave yourself unencumbered so you can fly freely.
