Forgiveness isn't about letting the other person off the hook - it's about releasing ourselves.

Each person's energy matters.

I think stress is an addiction. It can be tied to work addiction or busyness addiction or success addiction.

When we function from a place of positive energy, the world around us becomes more positive.

Bring acceptance and compassionate self-talk. Say nice things to yourself - you're the only one listening. Tell yourself, I am doing the best I can.

We're not really brought up in a culture where we believe we're meant to be happy, that peace is our birthright. It's not what we're taught; quite the opposite, actually. With all the expectations and the negative stories going on in the world, we have a lot to overcome.
