The greatest joy comes from giving and serving, so replace your habit of focusing exclusively on yourself and what's in it for you. When you make the shift to supporting others in your life, without expecting anything in return, you'll think less about what you want and find comfort and joy in the act of giving and serving.

I send you Love and all Green Lights

You don’t need a reason to be happy...your desire to be so is sufficient.

There is no stress in the world, only people thinking stressful thoughts.

It's one thing to make a pronouncement in a moment of inspiration about what you intend to manifest in your life or what kind of person you intend to become. It's quite another thing to make a commitment to holding that vision regardless of what difficulties or obstacles may surface. Holding the vision involves an unwillingness to compromise what you're visualizing for yourself. It means being willing to suffer through criticism and what appears to be an uncooperative universe.

I've always believed that parents are not for leaning upon, but rather exist to make leaning unnecessary.

You don't get what you want. You get what you are.
