The core of who you are, your true nature, is Love.

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.

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

When we combine acceptance with self-responsibility we can then see that whenever we are in a painful or disturbing situation we have two choices: We can work compassionately to bring something positive to the situation or leave. However, the key is the mental stance that we make the choice from, and thus the first step is always accepting the moment without resistance.

For me, the more I don't foolishly waste my life wishing for a better past the more free I am today to create, grow, and love.

One of the most liberating personal discoveries I have made is the knowledge that whenever I am upset, there is another way of looking at any situation, person, or condition.

Happiness is more about removing the blocks to Love and remembering who you are than changing your situation or another person.
