I have learned from my own pain is that God's plan for all of us is peace. Being a role model to peace, and spreading peace through being peaceful ourselves. It's about choosing peace instead of pain - this is the bottom line.

Pray for healthy loving friendships, and you will have them.

Don't feel obligated to spend time with people who pull you off the path of your life purpose.

Your feelings are your signals of deep truths inside of you. They're the language of your soul, and they need you to listen to them.

I'd been conflict-phobic my entire life because I didn't want to lose my inner core of peace.

Signs usually come in threes. The same book is recommended to you several times within the space of a day, for example. You overhear someone mention the same company three times in a week. Or, you get the same feeling again and again. Notice your feelings. Again, true divine guidance feels safe, even if it does feel intimidating. False guidance feels edgy, shaky - like you're sneaking under the wire. It doesn't feel right.

Joy is all there is. The rest is a preoccupation of the ego, unworthy of your holy mind.
