We don't just get our choice; we get the consequence that choice creates.

No - simple to pronounce, hard to say.

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.

We call it keeping up with the Joneses. They buy a boat and we buy a bigger one. They get a new TV and we get a big screen. They start a business and we start planning our articles of incorporation and the first stock release. And while we're so busy keeping up, we ignore our soul, the inner voice, that's telling us that it really wants to teach children to read. While it helps to identify with each other, we're not the same. So why compare ourselves on the basis of material things? Are you walking a path with heart in your own life, regardless of what others have?

Perspective will come in retrospect.

Worrying, obsessing, and controlling are illusions. They are tricks we play on ourselves.
