Happiness is not created as a result of certain conditions. Certain conditions are created as a result of happiness.

The first step of gratitude is to see the gift...if you are in the middle of difficulties and problems, how can you feel gratitude? You've got to fight to find the gift even in the difficulty...when you shift your perspective from the perspective of the mind because life will never make sense to your mind...mind is very logical and life is not. In order for life to make sense you've got to be out of your mind and you've got to be into your soul. When you begin to see life from the perspective of your soul then even in the midst of the worst of it you can see the gift.

The struggle ends when the gratitude begins. The search is over when the finding starts. And the finding is not a finding at all, but a creating. You cannot find what you have been struggling for, but you can create it. And the jump-start of creation is gratitude.

The result of your not listening to your experience is that you keep re-living it, over and over again.

Everything is "acceptable" in the sight of God, for how can God not accept that which is? To reject a thing is to deny that it exists.

We are all one. Ours is not a better way, ours is merely another way.

Your thought is the parent that gives birth to all things.
