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.

Anger is a warning signal. It points to problems.

We don't have to do it any better than we can - ever. Do our best for the moment, then let it go. If we have to redo it, we can do our best in another moment, later.

I know when to say no and when to say yes. I take responsibility for my choices. The victim? She went somewhere else. The only one who can truly victimize me is myself, and 99 percent of the time I choose to do that no more. But I need to continue to remember the key principles: boundaries, letting go, forgiveness after feeling my feelings—not before, self-expression, loving others but loving myself, too.

Today I will not wait for someone to come to my aid. I'm not helpless. Although help may come, I'm my own rescuer. My relationships will dramatically improve when I stop rescuing others and stop expecting others to rescue me.

Letting go of our ideas about how life should go is a choice that sets life's magic free.

God, help me remember that when I admit and accept the truth, I'll be given the power and guidance to change.
