Suffering Is Just About The Easiest Of

How Do We Nurture The Soul? By Revering Our Own Life. By Learning To Love It All, Not Only The Joys And The Victories, But Also The Pain And The Struggles.

The More You Surrender To The Fear Of Someone's Disapproval, The More You Lose Face In Your Own Eyes, And The More Desperate You Become For Someone's Approval. Within You Is A Void That Should Have Been Filled By Self-esteem. When You Attempt To Fill It With The Approval Of Others Instead, The Void Grows Deeper And The Hunger For Acceptance And Approval Grows Stronger. The Only Solution Is To Summon The Courage To Honor Your Own Judgment, Frightening Though That May Be In The Beginning.

If You Bring Five Percent More Awareness To Your Work Tomorrow, Or To Your Most Important Relationship, What Might You Do Differently? Are You Willing To Find Out?

Fully To Surrender To Love Can Be Terrifying. But It Is The Price Life Asks In Exchange For The Possibility Of Ecstasy.

If You Do Not Feel Deserving Of Happiness, Consciously Or Subconsciously, Or If You Have Accepted The Idea That Happiness Is Somehow Wrong Or Cannot Last, You Will Not Respond Appropriately When Happiness Comes Knocking At Your Door In The Form Of Romantic Love. No Matter How Much You May Have Waited And Cried, You Will Not Welcome Love When It Arrives-you Will Find A Way To Sabotage It. What A Challenge To Resist This Temptation! What An Opportunity For True Spiritual Growth And Transformation-to Defy Your Negative Feelings And Honor The Gift That Life Offers You!
