You can't just cry about the pain. You can't just pray about the pain. You must eliminate the pain.

We think we have to do something to be grateful or something has to be done in order for us to be grateful, when gratitude is a state of being.

Everything is just as it needs to be. And if we would forgive, our minds and hearts would open and we could see another possibility.

Everybody does not have to like you. That is not their job. Liking you is not anyone's purpose in life except yours.

How do you spell peace? P-R-A-Y-E-R! Anything you believe you need is available to you through prayer. We are not talking here about a magic formula of proper and distinct words. Oh no! We are talking about opening your heart and your mouth, saying what's on your mind, knowing that once you do, the answer will be revealed.

If you don't enjoy your life, sorrow, sadness, suffering, fear, shame and guilt will.

All relationships have the same basic components: people, needs, and expectations.
