We see things not as they are, but as we are. Your addictions distort how you process the enormous flow of information that is constantly flooding in through all of your sensory inputs.

Happiness is experienced when your life gives you what you are willing to accept.

The love and peace of higher consciousness flow from just being - and enjoying it all. Anything you do will not be enough unless you feel fulfilled in just being.

The things we do disappear in time. We must learn to appreciate just being alive in the nowness of whatever situation we are in.
