We can't control the world, but we can control our reactions to it.
What I try to control ends up controlling me.
You can have anything in life, but you can't have everything!
Open your eyes, whether you presently believe it or not, your life is already abundant. Before you can accept abundance in your life, you have to notice it.
Most of us do not 'sculpt' our lives. We accept what comes our way, then we gripe about it.
Too many of us seem to be searching for something 'out there' to make our lives complete. What we are all really searching for is the divine essence that lives within.
