I live now and only now, and I will do what I want to do this moment and not what I decided was best for me yesterday.

When we persist in looking for and finding what there is to value within our self, we discover a pure and loving being.

Next time I will ..." "From now on I will ..." - What makes me think I am wiser today than I will be tomorrow?

I am responsible for what I see. I can elect to change all thoughts that hurt. I could see peace instead of THIS. The past is over it can touch me not. This instant is the only time there is. Today I will judge nothing that occurs. I am not the victim of the world I see. I can escape from the world I see by giving up attack thoughts. I am determined to see things differently. I am never upset for the reason I think. Forgiveness is the key to happiness. All that I give I give to myself.

Sometimes when I generalize, I am saying, 'Let's pretend I am God,' and of course the other person argues that point endlessly. But I notice that if the other person takes a stand for himself and states his thoughts as his thoughts, I pay more attention to what he is saying and look deeper in myself.

It's not that we fear the place of darkness, but that we don't think we are worth the effort to find the place of light.

If your reaction to your partner's fear-or any other form of distress- is disdain or irritation, you do not want oneness or even friendship with your partner at that moment.
