Guilt can prevent us from setting the boundaries that would be in our best interests, and in other peoples best interests.

Relax, you're on a journey of discovery. Let life reveal itself to you.

...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.

If we are waiting for guaranteed courses of action, we may spend much of our life waiting.

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

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.

Each life needs its own quiet place.
