The way you get more is by having a daily spiritual practice.

When you make a decision and a commitment to do something good for yourself, it is like dropping a pebble in a pond. It has a rippling effect. The firmer the decision, the stronger the frequency and wider the range of things that will be reached.

You cannot experience the fullness of your authentic self or life when you live to avoid hurt. You will never know the joy of love or the peaceful satisfaction of being loved if you hide from hurt.

We know how to be doctors, nurses, lawyers. We know how to be tweeters. We know how to be everything. But how do you just be people? How do you be present with one another? How do you be honest with one another? How do you be compassionate towards one another, forgiving towards one another? We know what to do. We don't know what to be, how to be.

When the time comes for you to make a change or to grow, the universe will make you so uncomfortable you will eventually have no choice.

All of us have ways in which we mask and cover our pain.

From speaking with my mother I learned that forgiveness is a process that begins with the choice to end your own suffering.
