Initially when our foundations are rocked, when we lose our external security, we feel very fragile. In that moment, we have a choice. Am I the Phoenix and rise from the ashes or do I just keep wallowing in the ashes?

We're like little puppies chasing our tails. We realize we're never getting what we want and then realize we need to do something a bit more profound.

Happiness is a choice I am making now. Once we understand that and find love consciousness, we learn that this place of internal plenitude needs nothing.

You can have all the external experiences but you have to be the love first.

Once we do fill the void and experience the expansion in consciousness, we realize there is enough and has always been enough. We've always had exactly what we've needed in every moment.

Most people ultimately realize that they can acquire things, change their partner or other things, consume more and still it doesn't work. I'm not criticizing any of this.

I was a very focused and determined woman and I always got what I wanted. But once I had it, there was another future moment when I had to attain something else. These internal yearnings keep happiness in a future moment.
