positivity thinking understanding
Freedom is not overcoming what you think stands in your way. It is understanding that what is in your way is part of the way.
firsts life-is our-lives
We become what we love. What we put first in our lives is what we receive from life.
letting-go ideas defeated
See that any time you feel pained or defeated, it is only because you insist on clinging to what doesn't work. Dare to let go and you won't lose a thing except for a punishing idea.
positive thinking light
If you want light to come into your life, you need to stand where it is shining.
flower cutting order
Trying to change ourselves in order to please others - so that we can feel temporarily whole for having won their approval - is like cutting a flower into pieces so that it will fit into a vase.
hands challenges trying
Psychologically speaking, what is true requires no protection, and never becomes negative when challenged. On the other hand, what is false almost never stops trying to protect itself, which it does by finding fault with whatever or whoever challenges the false image behind which it always hides.
struggle past views
Getting stressed and struggling to change the outcome of any past event is like arguing with an echo to make it see your point of view.

Being fully present is the best guarantee for a bright future.

Those who dare to try what others only dream of - never fail to discover that real effort is always rewarded.

A crisis is a close encounter of the third kind.
letting-go heart agreement
Letting go, at its heart, is an act of agreement with Life.
meaningful stress dark
True happiness isn't something that can be made. It isn't the result of anything. Happiness comes to those who understand that you can't seek it any more than you seek the air you breathe. It is a part of life to be found within living. ... All pursuit of happiness is based upon the false assumption that there is a way to possess it; you may as well try to grab a handful of breeze! Happiness is the natural expression of a stress-free life, just as sunlight naturally warms the Earth after dark clouds appear.
all-things
All things good come to those for whom the Good is all things.
dark light resistance
Resistance to revelation, resistance to becoming conscious of all that dwells within us - high and low, light and dark - is the anti-change factor. It is also the mainspring of all our psychological fears.
