What if happiness is in fact more about remembering who we are, rather than attempting to change anything or anyone at all?

There is no moment, ever, that does not either hold an opportunity or a lesson that God is offering.

What if nothing needs to change other than our perception of what we see?

The body can limit our ability to experience life to the fullest, especially if we identify ourselves as being only our bodies.

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

For years I was so busy building walls I did not see I was imprisoning myself behind them, and did not recognize this pattern as being addiction. My addictive thinking and behavior became the bars of my cell. Denying feeling empty inside, I constantly looked for new things to acquire, people to be around, substances to take, and new goals to achieve in order to feel better about myself. Over the last four decades I have focused on healing my addictive mind and helping others do the same.

Don't confuse acceptance with being a naïve or weak person. Acceptance does not mean condoning negative behavior, staying in a bad situation, or not working to improve our life and the world.
