If you are a card-carrying human being, chances are that you share the same fear as all other humans: the fear of losing love, respect and connection to others. And if you are human, in order to avoid or prevent the pain, trauma and perceived devastation of the loss, you will do anything to avoid your greatest fear from being visited on you.

We make our days pleasant or miserable. If we insist on being miserable, irritable and nasty, more than likely the day will give us exactly what we give it. A day is too valuable to waste on misery and unhappiness.

Life doesn't actually knock you down. It does, however, provide you with many opportunities to evaluate your standing in life: what you stand on, what you stand for, how you stand within yourself and for yourself.

If you should encounter angry or unkind actions today, take a deep breath, reach deep within and greet the lack of love with love.

I am now willing to forgive myself . . . for believing I could offer something to others before I have offered it to myself.

The beloved is one who nurtures you, trusts you, supports you, encourages you, loves you without conditions. That's you.

The only thing that goes on in your life is what your allow to go on in your life
