Snips

I have found that the deepest, most meaningful aspects to my life are often the ones that first appear to be so ordinary and inconsequential. The source of the blessings in my life is deep within, past whatever abilities or attainments I have or don't have, past any circumstances or fortune, past whatever can be seen as a cause or an effect. That source is still invisible and unknown and yet the most real aspect of my life.
John Morton

We don't have to question every occurrence to see how it fits into the Plan. The Plan - the awareness, the insight, and the potential for personal growth - will reveal itself to us. Perhaps the lesson is to learn to solve our problems without always knowing their significance. Perhaps the lesson is to trust ourselves to live, and experience, life.
Melody Beattie

Creating major change in your life can feel overwhelming. Many people don't change, if given an option. They prefer to stay stuck and wait until they're assured that the change they contemplate will be successful. Those assurances are rarely forthcoming, and then it's often too late.
