We cannot accept the painful things that happen to us unless we begin to see the perfection underlying the web of appearances. A common belief is that we were placed on the wheel of reincarnation, suffering lifetime after lifetime, until we have lived enough lives to become perfect. God created us perfectly with the ability to be a creator. Thoughts combined with feeling create our environment. The heart is like a microphone, the stronger the emotions, the stronger the universe’s response to manifest our desires. But the universe doesn’t discriminate; it will manifest whatever we think—positive or negative. It is important that we accept that we have co-created the situation, which removes any feelings of having things done “to” us.

"There is that part of ourselves that feels ugly, deformed, unacceptable. That part, above all, we must learn to cherish, embrace, and call by name."

Care more than others think wise. Risk more than others think safe. Dream more than others think practical. Expect more than others think possible.
