The universe will always remove what is no longer serving you.

Right now we're in a special and powerful position, because the world is having a spiritual awakening.

So much of what holds us back in life are the long-held resentments stemming from childhood.

It's very easy to look for happiness outside ourselves; in a relationship, a dream job, or the perfect body weight. When we chase happiness externally, we're simply looking for God in all the wrong places. The outside search is based on false projections we place on the world. These projections build up a wall against true happiness, which lies within us.

You have to be ready to receive help, whether that be through a book, a therapist or counselor, or a doctor of some kind. That willingness can lead you through a door to the other side, and that's where healing can truly begin.

If your stress is related to another person, finding forgiveness - changing your thoughts and energy around that person - can lower stress.

Joy is a big stress buster too. Measure your success by how much fun you're having.
