Expressing passion and gratitude will guide your life. Say it again and again. Say it until you believe it. Say it until you live it.

If that person doesn't want to be in your life, just let him or her leave.

...Help me let go of my need to stay immersed in negativity. I can change the energy in myself and my environment from nega­tive to positive. I will affirm the good until it sinks in and feels real. I will also strive to find one quality that I like about someone else who's important to me, and I will take the risk of telling him or her that.

Today I will surrender to discipline. I realize that sometimes it takes time to see the fruits of my labors, yet I still need to practice discipline. Help me to remember, God, that I'm moving forward, and that I'm learning the very important art of discipline.

Live your life from your heart. Share from your heart. And your story will touch and heal people's souls.

Today I will practice healthy giving, understanding that caretaking and compulsive giving don't work. I choose what I want to give, to whom, when, and how much. It takes time to learn how to give in healthy ways. It takes time to learn to receive. Balance will come.

Acceptance is the magic that makes change possible. It is not forever, it is for the present moment
