We empower ourselves every time we accept responsibility for choosing the thoughts and feelings we act on.

Hope gives us something to do when we are afraid of what might happen.

I will surrender to the moment today.

Today I have a choice. I can resist reality and suffer pain or peacefully accept what I cannot change.

Miracles are experiences that take us by surprise.

We will come to understand the part a difficult circumstance has played in our lives. Hindsight makes so much clear. The broken marriage, the lost job, the loneliness have all contributed to who we are becoming. The joy of the wisdom we are acquiring is that hindsight comes more quickly. We can, on occasion, begin to accept a difficult situation's contribution to our wholeness while caught in the turmoil.

Generosity makes at least two people feel good.
