We are on a very rich emotional and physical journey on this planet.

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.

We need to build downtime into our lives, so that we can have solitude without feeling overcome with guilt.

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

Real power comes when we stop holding others responsible for our pain, and we take responsibility for all our feelings.

The surest way to make ourselves crazy is to get involved in other people's business, and the quickest way to become sane and happy is to tend to our own affairs.

Today I will practice healthy giving, understanding that caretaking and compulsive giving don't work. I choose what I want to give, to whom, when, and how much. It takes time to learn how to give in healthy ways. It takes time to learn to receive. Balance will come.
