Though few would admit it, most of the time, when people are upset they don't actually want to feel differently, they want agreement and ways to make a situation, condition, or person change.

Most of us, if we are truly honest with ourselves, have an ever-evolving and ever-growing list of what we think we must change in order to be at peace or to be happy.

Freedom, which is an aspect of health, remains impossible as long as we perceive our bodies as a complete definition of ourselves.

There is never a circumstance, no matter how catastrophic, that also does not hold within it an opportunity to better things, to better yourself. Every moment brings with it an opportunity to love, to forgive, to grow beyond your shortcomings.

I trust that no loving thought goes unnoticed, even when I do not see immediate gratitude or behavior changes in the other person.

You may not have chosen what is happening to your body, but you can choose how you respond.

It is impossible to hold a grudge and have peace of mind at the same time. It would be like trying to have day and night exist in the same moment.
