No one that ever lived has ever had enough power, prestige, or knowledge to overcome the basic condition of all life - you win some and you lose some.

As we grow in higher consciousness, we discover that it is more important to be the right person then to find the right person.

Upgrade your addictions to the status of preferences. Here's the distinction between an addiction and a preference.

Life is warning you to get rid of an addiction every time you are emotionally uncomfortable in any way.

By tuning in to your minute-to-minute stream of consciousness, you discover the addictions that make you worried, anxious, resentful, uptight, afraid, angry, bored, etc. You thus use every uncomfortable emotion as an opportunity for consciousness growth. Even though you may still be feeling emotional and uptight, you begin to get at the roots of your ups and downs - your brief bits of pleasure and your long periods of unhappiness.

I am perceiving everyone, including myself, as an awakening being who is here to claim his or her birthright to the higher consciousness planes of unconditional love and oneness.

To be upset over what you don't have is to waste what you do have.
