Sharing experiences widens one's horizons and opens out new and
better ways to deal with difficulties. There is no need to solve them alone.
Courage is fear that has said its prayers.
I pray for the opportunity to help the hopeless;
it will show me the way to share myself with someone in great need.
I will pray for self-fulfillment, and through conscious effort make some headway
toward being at peace with myself, which is my ultimate goal, embracing all others.
I will make this day a happy one, for I alone can determine what kind of a day it will be.
I pray that each day may advance my steps on the road to understanding;
that I may leave nothing undone that could have changed the course of my life for the better.
I ask God to make me willing to see clearly my everyday experiences, to sharpen
my perception of how much there is to enjoy, even in ordinary things and happenings.
Let me be receptive. Restore to me my capacity for wonder.
I pray for quietness to help me cure my own emotional instability.
Let me use serenity to cushion the impact of whatever happens outside of me.
Unless I love my martyrdom and cling to it, I need not
be alone in freeing myself from whatever troubles me.
There is danger in taking on another's duty–danger that we may neglect our own,
and that we may deprive them of what they may learn from finding their own solutions.
There's only one corner of the world you can be sure of improving and that is your own self.
In nature there are neither rewards nor punishments–there are consequences.
Love and patience can make ample amends for past injuries;
they restore us to sanity and our lives to serenity.
To overcome my faults, I must first know what they are. Then I must admit to them, and,
finally, with patient self-correction, diminish them, even if I cannot set myself wholly free.
To withdraw from an argument may not make you the winner,
but what you have saved is your own dignity and grace.
To expect life to be tailored to our specifications is to invite frustration.
In quiet and in silence the truth is made clear...
Teach me to think straight, and not to take offense at criticism which is meant as loving guidance.
To be without hope is to deny the wonderful possibilities of the future.
If I knew what I was really like, chances are I'd like myself much better than I do.
Life is beautiful, I have it all. But even in the sunshine, one has to cry sometimes.
It's all happening perfectly.
I am enough.
No matter what life decides to hand me, I'll handle it.
Find the blessing. Find the lesson to be learned.
Find the strength you never thought you had. Find the triumph.
We were born to learn, to grow, to expand, to love, to create, to enjoy,
to see the beauty in all things–including ourselves. But we weren't born to be perfect!
The only thing we can effectively control is our reactions to whatever life hands us.
Use and enjoy that which enriches your life. Let go of that which is just excess baggage.
If you are not enjoying yourself, you are wasting your time!
Taking things for granted is one of the greatest assaults on the quality of our lives.
When we focus on abundance, our life feels abundant;
when we focus on lack, our life feels lacking. It is simply a matter of focus.
If we saw ourselves as perpetual beginners, we would be much kinder to ourselves.
Humor creates a shift in perception that allows us to center ourselves in a powerful place.
Spiritual growth is not a destination.
It is a forever process of learning and expanding and exploring and discovering.
Trust you know what is right for you at any particular time.
If you haven't made any mistakes lately, you must be doing something wrong!
Embrace the journey...embrace who you are...embrace all there is...
