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

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.

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.

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

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.
