How could I expect more from the universe when I didn't appreciate what I already had?

When you learn what you can live without, you are able to ask life for the very best because you possess the gift of discernment. You are able to create an authentic life because you are able to make conscious choices.

Conscious choice is creative. Unconscious choice is destructive. That is how we end up living other people's lives.

We are far betting dealing with the big losses-death, divorce, debt, and debilitating illness-than with the daily onslaught of little losses.

Start moving, a step at a time, step after step. The positive momentum will take you from there.

Life is not made up of minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, or years, but of moments. You must experience each one before you can appreciate it.

All we need is the awareness of how blessed we really are.
