We are free to choose friends, dates, and spouses. We are free to choose how much time we spend with those people we can't always choose to be around, such as relatives. This is our life. This is it. We can decide how we want to spend our days and hours. We're not enslaved. We're not trapped. And not one of us is without options. We may not see our options clearly. Although we may have to struggle through shame and learn to own our power, we can learn to spend our valuable hours and days with the people we enjoy and choose to be with.
Melody Beattie

"We want approval from others. We want to be accepted and popular. We seek this comfort to overcome our fear and feel more secure. ...So, at times when we conform, we don’t feel the fear of living. But we might lose the new sense of adventure, discovery, daring and enthusiasm for life that the questioning and questing have brought us."
Elizabeth Cady Stanton


"At this point we are afraid of being ourselves. We are afraid of being unique and different. We are afraid of being individually powerful, and even successful. For all of these things stand against the old ways that told us that conformity was right and individualism was wrong."
Andrew Schneider

We can choose to live, fully in the Now. We can appreciate the extraordinariness of every breath we take, every challenge we encounter. Within each experience is the opportunity for us to grow and heal, to reach out to others in caring ways, to discover more fully the individuals we are capable of being. We must not let a single moment go by unnoticed.
Maria Yraceburu

Remind yourself of how much you have to give away and of how precious and valuable your giving is. You have the same force running through you that allows the planets to move, the earth to orbit, the seeds to sprout, and the flowers to open. There is not a separate God for each person. There is one universal intelligence flowing through all of us.
Wayne Dyer

Cherish your vision; Cherish your ideals; Cherish the music that stirs in your heart, the beauty that forms in your mind, the loveliness that drapes your purest thoughts. If you remain true to them, your world will at last be built.
James Allen

There is only one spirit and one mind, and we are all part of this collective intelligence and love.
Doreen Virtue

If the only prayer you say in your whole life is 'thank you,' that would suffice.
Meister Eckhart
