Perspective will come in retrospect.

Today I will simply accept. I will relinquish the need to be in resistance to myself and my environment in any way. I will move forward in joy by accepting where I am right now.

...the pain that comes from loving someone who's in trouble can be profound.

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

Our strength will continue if we allow ourselves the courage to feel scared, weak, and vulnerable.

Gratitude turns what we have into enough.

We don't want to give the controls to someone else; we want those reins ourselves. We want to get our way. And we get upset when things don't work out. . . . When we try to control someone else or events beyond the scope of our power, we lose. When we learn to discern the difference between what we can change and what we can't, we usually have an easier time expressing our power in our lives. Because we're not wasting all our energy using our power to change things we can't, we have a lot of energy left over to live our lives.
