If you want a real experience of serenity, look for the good. Affirm the good. Acknowledge the good.

Some children do what they’re told to do; some children do what they’re told not to do; all children do what they’re parents have done.

Create what you want as opposed to being stuck in what you didn't have.

Be willing to share all of who you are. So many of us want a partner, but we're not willing to show all of us. That's why we have a weave, we're wearing Spanx and everything is 'fine.' If you're not willing to let your partner see your cellulite or know your biggest fears, then you aren't really ready to share yourself.

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.

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

When you refuse to pay attention to what life is saying to you, life will make its point very clear. Life wants us to be aware of ourselves so we can make the necessary adjustments in order to live more harmoniously.
