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

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

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.

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.

Often we don't change because we're afraid of what might happen. We cling to what we recognize, even if we are steeped in suffering.

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

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.
