The more we learn to love and respect ourselves, the more we will become attracted to people who will love and respect us and who we can safely love and respect.

We need to set goals for ourselves. Start today...if you don't have any goals, make your first goal getting some goals. You probably won't start living happily ever after, but you may start living happily, purposefully, and with gratitude...Goals are gratitude in action. They give us the opportunity to build on what we already have. While achieving goals can be a lengthy process, we can learn to be grateful for each stage in the process of setting and meeting goals.

Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow.

Today I will refuse to jump into the middle of others' affairs, issues, and relationships. I will trust others to work out their own problems, including the ideas and feelings they want to communicate to each other.

Waiting time is not wasted time. Something is being worked out - in us, in someone else, in the Universe.

Gratitude can turn a meal into a feast.

Nurtured, nourished people, who love themselves and care for themselves, are the delight of the Universe.
