Never expect a loan to a friend to be paid back if you want to keep that friend.
When you focus on want, you become an endless cycle of wants. To get, simply release, and then gently invite.
Being yourself in a world which wants you to be someone else is the highest possible attainment.
A person who wants nothing fears nothing.
Want is an empty void - your real value is full and abundant.
Do you want to know what you are? You are a creator. At every moment you are creating. The real question is, what are you creating?
If you want your life to be different you have to start reacting to life differently.
Through spiritual maturity you will see new ways to avoid unnecessary suffering; wiser ways to endure unavoidable hardships with grace, and opportunities to turn your pain into lessons of service and healing for others. Your hard journey has had a great purpose! Your pain was always a part of a plan to open your heart to love. Have faith. A miracle is happening in your life; the miracle of pain is transforming you to your highest self.
The feeling of being 'offended' is a warning indicator that is showing you where to look within yourself for unresolved issues.
Through meditation and gentle cooperation, the body will heal itself with little or no effort.

My self-esteem had been crushed through years of childhood bullying and serious abuses, which would take me decades to overcome.
The realities of the world seldom measure up to the sublime designs of human imagination.
Do not let your ambitions become a sanctuary for your failures.
