Arranging for and allowing ourselves to have fun is an important part of taking care of ourselves. It helps us stay healthy. It helps us work better. It balances life. We deserve to have fun. Fun is a normal part of being alive. Fun is taking time to celebrate being alive.

Sometimes, we don't get what we want. . . But this is a benevolent universe. And once in a while, we do.

When we're surrounded by things that look impossible, making a simple choice to do something that's possible is a powerful thing to do.

Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life.

Today I will realize that I'm powerless over other people's expectations of me. I'll think about what I want and consider that how I respond to others' needs will affect the course of my life. I will own my own power and choose the course that's right for me.

the more we are focused on controlling and changing others, the more unmanageable our life becomes. The more we focus on living our own life, the more we have a life to live, and the more manageable our life will become.

The lesson I was learning involved the idea that I could feel compassion for people without acting on it.
