So many of us have not attended to the deeper issues in ourselves; in our minds, our hearts, and in our external manifestations that keep love at bay. We instead concentrate on making a list of what we're looking for in another person.

Many people who say they're looking for love are merely looking for superficial comfort. They're not looking yet for the true romantic adventure. For that entails a readiness to die to who we were, in order to be born again prepared for love, truly worthy of the romantic heights.

Seek more opportunities to put more love in the world.

Any situation that pushes our buttons is a situation where we don't yet have the capacity to be unconditionally loving.

A queen is wise. She has earned her serenity, not having had it bestowed on her but having passer her tests. She has suffered and grown more beautiful because of it. She has proved she can hold her kingdom together. She has become its vision. She cares deeply about something bigger than herself. She rules with authentic power.

To look to God is to look to the realm of consciousness that can deliver us from the pain of living.

We experience who we really are, and what it is we are meant to do, in any moment when we pour our love into the universe.
