Any relationships that would reject you for being true to yourself are - by definition - abusive relationships. You'll be much better off when you let them go.

You must give before you can get.

Spiritual development requires the freedom to connect with different parts of reality in order to understand them more fully. The more you're able to explore, the more connections you can form, and the greater your spiritual growth will be. When you feel a strong desire to connect with something in your reality, listen to your intuitive guidance, and make the connection.

One of my core beliefs is that belief itself is a choice that can be made of our own free will.

Realize that you earn income by providing value - not time - so find a way to provide your best value to others, and charge a fair price for it.

Spend time cultivating your deepest desires, no matter how impractical or impossible they seem. It's perfectly OK to want the impossible. It's not OK to pretend that your desires don't matter.

If you really believe something, you will act in accordance with that belief - always. If you believe in gravity, you will never attempt to defy it. If you claim to hold a belief but act incongruently, then you don't actually believe it. You're only kidding yourself. Casual faith isn't.
