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

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 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.

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.

Who you allow into the circle of your life will make the difference in the quality of your life.

To give up power to change for the better is inherently distasteful to everyone, and to force people to affirm that they are addicts or alcoholics so they can speak in a meeting is shameful and demoralizing.

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