Before we can change anything in our life, we have to recognize that this is the way it is meant to be right now. For me, acceptance has become what I call the long sigh of the soul. It's the closed eyes in prayer, perhaps even the quiet tears. It's "all right," as in "All right, You lead, I'll follow." And it's "all right" as in "Everything is going to turn out all right." This is simply part of the journey.

Solvency feels better than anything you can spend money on.

Always remember that striving and struggle precede success even in the dictionary.

It's hard to tell our bad luck from our good luck sometimes. And most of us have wept copious tears over someone or something when if we'd understood the situation better we might have celebrated our good fortune instead.

Half-truths are the devil's IOUs.

You develop patience that enables you to wait gracefully and gratefully until the best arrives because you know it will.

We can learn to be the catalysts for our own change.
