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?

By focusing on love and cultivating an internal security, we can start to take the steps in our lives to create profound change.

There's a part of us that is addicted to suffering, that equates love with suffering.

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.

When we learn to focus on love, grace, and gratitude, life is really quite lovely.

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.
