Before You Can See The Light, You

The First Step To Change,... Is Accepting Your Reality Right Now. Honoring Your Process. Compassionate Self-awareness Leads To Change; Harsh Self-criticism Only Holds The Pattern In Place, Creating A Stubborn And Defensive Basic Self. Be Gentle With Yourself As You Would With A Child. Be Gentle But Firm. Give Yourself The Space To Grow. But Remember That The Timing Is In God's Hands, Not Yours. Page~147

In The Real World, Those Of Us Who Are Most Productive, Successful, And Satisfied Focus Not On Fixing Feelings Or Manipulating Thoughts, But On What Needs To Be Done-and Then Doing It-no Matter What Thoughts Or Feelings Arise.

When We Feel Stuck, Going Nowhere-even Starting To Slip Backward-we May Actually Be Backing Up To Get A Running Start.

Thoughts Naturally Arise. The Point Of Meditation Is Not To Banish Thoughts But To Make Peace With Them By Realizing Their Lack Of Substance.

Our Sense Of Self-worth Is The Single Most Important Determinant Of The Health, Abundance, And Joy We Allow Into Our Lives.
