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

Perspective will come in retrospect.

When we're surrounded by things that look impossible, making a simple choice to do something that's possible is a powerful thing to do.

Going home means getting comfortable being who you are and who your soul really wants to be. There is no strain with that. The strain and tension come when we're not being who our soul wants to be and we're someplace where our soul doesn't feel at home.

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

...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.

Letting go helps us to live in a more peaceful state of mind and helps restore our balance. It allows others to be responsible for themselves and for us to take our hands off situations that do not belong to us. This frees us from unnecessary stress.
