Those who love you are not fooled by mistakes you have made or dark images you hold about yourself. They remember your beauty when you feel ugly; your wholeness when you are broken; your innocence when you feel guilty; and your purpose when you are confused.

---

A life without change is not a life; it is a stagnant pool.

---

Your life is not a problem to be solved, but an adventure to be enjoyed. You are doing better than you think.

---

Use pain as a stepping stone, not a camp ground.

---

Be happy with what you have. Be excited about what you want.

---

Since you are the one who has to live with your choices, be sure they are your own.

---

Ask for peace first, and you will clearly see your next step.

---

Revisit your past only to recognize how far you have come.

We believe we are hurt when we don't receive love. But that is not what hurts us. Our pain comes when we do not give love. We were born to love. You might say that we are divinely created love machines. We function most powerfully when we are giving love. The world has led us to believe that our wellbeing is dependent on other people loving us. But this is kind of upside down thinking that has caused so many of our problems. The truth is our well being is dependent on our giving love. It is not about what comes back; it is about what goes out!

---

Everything will line up perfectly when knowing and living the truth becomes more important than looking good.
