Throughout the life cycle we consciously and unconsciously edit the events of our life, trying to give them meaning.

A spiritually optimistic point of view holds that the universe is woven out of a fabric of love. Everything that is happening is ultimately for the good if we're willing to face it head-on and use our adversities for soul growth.

When we are capable of living in the moment free from the tyranny of "shoulds," free from the nagging sensation that this moment isn't right, we will have peaceful hearts.

If you take a single step toward positive change, that divine energy will take a hundred steps toward you. New worlds and unbelievable possibilities will open up for you. The synchronicities that will begin appearing in your life will become a source of delight and amazement.

If we believe that the universe is unfriendly and that our very souls are in danger, peace will be elusive at best.

Throughout the life cycle we consciously and unconsciously edit the events of our life, trying to give them meaning.

Have we arrived at our own faith and our own path or simply internalized the beliefs of parents, clergy, spouse, or friends?
