1 " Most of us are about as eager to be changed as we were to be born, and go through our changes in a similar state of shock. JAMES BALDWIN "
― Julia Cameron , Transitions: Prayers and Declarations for a Changing Life
2 " Often God shuts a door in our face, And then subsequently opens the door through which we need to go. CATHERINE MARSHALL "
3 " Today, I release the urgency of outer events. I listen to the inner rhythm of God. I set my pace by divine guidance. The world and its busy agendas do not control my soul. "
4 " It’s not the answer that enlightens, but the question. EUGENE IONESCO "
5 " Today, I accept divine timing. I allow the pacing of the Universe to be my own. I align myself with the tempo of my life precisely as it is unfolding. "
6 " We tend to think of the rational as a higher order, but it is the emotional that makes our lives. One often learns more from ten days of agony than from ten years of contentment. MERLE SHAIN "
7 " To keep a lamp burning we have to keep putting oil in it. MOTHER TERESA "
8 " Today, I find health in my illness. Today, I find well-being at the core of my dis-ease. I accept the condition unexpectedly thrust upon me. With this new landmark, I find my spiritual bearings and greater growth. "
9 " Today, with humility and openness I ask for spiritual intervention in my earthly affairs. I ask for help, and, in the asking, it appears. "
10 " Today, I view myself as a pilgrim. I take stock of the distances I have traveled. I take time to map the route I now choose. "
11 " Today, I embrace the beginning of a better life. I release my grip on the past and open my hand to receive the new. I accept the seeds of the future. "
12 " Be strong then, and enter into your own body; there you have a solid place for your feet. KABIR "
13 " Today, I am a clear stream flowing softly through green meadows. I make my way swiftly but gently to my goals. "
14 " If you want the truth, I will tell you the truth: Friend, listen: the God whom I love is inside. KABIR "
15 " Today, I choose to cherish myself like a beloved child. I treat myself gently and with compassion. Practicing alert attention, I find delight in the small treasures of the day. I allow meaningful moments to assume enhanced perspective. Counting these blessings, I enrich my impoverished heart. "
16 " The world is a forest of verdant possibility. No one person controls my happiness. No one person is the source of my joy. I am rooted in universal flow. My needs for love and affection are met by many sources. I am blessed by the ability to receive love through many channels. I open my heart to the love that is offered to me by multiple sources. My heart is a mountain meadow fed by many streams. "
17 " Help your brother’s boat across, and lo! your own has reached the shore. HINDU PROVERB "
18 " Nothing that grieves us can be called little: by the eternal laws of proportion a child’s loss of a doll and a king’s loss of a crown are events of the same size. MARK TWAIN "
19 " Each of us has an inner compass. Its voice calls us to our highest good. Sometimes it requires that we alter a longstanding but stifling situation. It is difficult to face the severing or alteration of a relationship even when we know such change is for the highest good. "
20 " Faced with a divorce or separation, faced with the need to terminate a long-standing friendship, I must remind myself that sometimes the most loving involvement is a non-involvement. "
