Snips


Our past is neither an accident nor a mistake. We have been where we needed to be, with the necessary people. We can embrace our history, with its pain, its imperfections, its mistakes, even its tragedies. It is uniquely ours; it was intended just for us. Today, we are right where we need to be. Our present circumstances are exactly as they need to be, for now.
Melody Beattie


Know that you have the capacity to demolish your false belief that you are separate from God. Absent that illusion, you establish a strong connection, and the battles of daily life - stress, relationship problems or troubles with finance - can all be perceived from a higher perspective.
Mary Manin Morrissey

AA Thought for the Day / The real test is how we handle ourselves. We must ever be so certain that we are not to call the kettles black. Therefore it is wise if we pose ourselves these questions: "Do we really understand the people who are involved in this situation? Are we certain that we have all of the facts? Is any action or criticism on our part really necessary? Are we positive that we are neither fearful nor angry?" Only following such a scrutiny can we be sure to act with the careful discrimination and in the loving spirit that will always be needed to maintain our own integrity. / Bill W., August 1961- c. 1988 AA Grapevine, Inc., The Language Of The Heart, p. 262

The soul attracts that which it secretly harbors; that which it loves, and also that which it fears; it reaches the height of its cherished aspirations; it falls to the level of its unchastened desires. Every thought-seed sown or allowed to fall into the mind, and to take root there, produces its own, blossoming sooner or later into act, and bearing its own furtive of opportunity and circumstance. Good thoughts bear good fruit; bad thought, bad fruit.
James Allen


"It is hard to let old beliefs go. They are familiar. We are comfortable with them and have spent years building systems and developing habits that depend on them. Like a man who has worn eyeglasses so long that he forgets he has them on, we forget that the world looks to us the way it does because we have become used to seeing it that way through a particular set of lenses. Today, however, we need new lenses. And we need to throw the old ones away."
Kenich Ohmae


If you have a healthy sense of self love, you will find it much easier to love others, and much easier to accept the love of others. When you love yourself, you feel deserving of the good things in life and the powerful support of the Universe.
Jim Malloy


Have courage... Open your heart, and listen to what your dreams tell you. Follow those dreams, because only a person who is not ashamed can manifest the glory of God.
Paulo Coelho

There are no accidents... there is only some purpose that we haven't yet understood.
