The less you need someone's approval, the more you are able to love them.

When we give from a place of love, rather than from a place of expectation, more usually comes back to us than we could ever have imagined.

We have been taught to believe that negative equals realistic and positive equals unrealistic.

The biggest pitfall as you make your way through your life is impatience.

I believe that if something is troubling you, simply start from where you are and take the action necessary to change it.

Obviously, the real issue has nothing to do with fear itself, but, rather, how we hold the fear. For some, the fear is totally irrelevant. For others, it creates a state of paralysis. The former hold their fear from a position of power (choice, energy, and action), and the latter hold it from a position of pain (helplessness, depression, and paralysis).

We all create expectations of what we would like to happen after a decision is made. The picture in our mind's eye might have served a valuable function in helping to make a decision. But once the decision is made, let the picture go. Since you can't control the future, the picture can create unhappiness if it's not fulfilled. Disappointment may make you miss the good that can come out of every situation in which you find yourself.
