1 " There is a depth to life which only comes from our connection to other people. However, we have to find it without becoming a prisoner. "
― Donna Goddard , Waldmeer (Waldmeer, #1)
2 " Life is not a competition. No one has to lose for someone else to win. A true blessing blesses everyone. "
3 " The question is: do you want suffering or do you want peace? It's that simple. "
4 " Your body would not get sick if you held no thought of resentment. It is neither good nor bad of itself. If we hold anything against anyone, we will suffer ourselves. "
5 " Relationships are used by the darkness to keep people revolving around the ego’s demands. For a moment, people see the light of the divine in each other. They run to it and then quickly forget the light they once saw as their fears reclaim their consciousness. Thus begins the ongoing battle to protect one’s own ‘rights’, in case they be forgotten or betrayed. The tally of what is owed is counted, the guilt of perceived wrong doings is cast upon the other, one’s freedom must be paid as the price for ‘love’, and it is only in short periods of peace when all of this is forgotten. Those moments are the precious windows of the Soul. "
6 " Every grievance you hold hides a little more of the light of the world from your eyes until the darkness becomes overwhelming. Everything you forgive restores that light. So ask yourself, who is it that you are really hurting? "
7 " We draw into our life those who will help us to grow. Naturally, we tend to have mixed feelings about those very people but they are marked for us. We have forgotten that we wrote them an invitation some time ago. We look at them as if they are intruders when all along they are our guests. "
8 " You can turn every ugly and damaging drama into a genuine blessing by seeing it differently. No one is suffering on purpose. We learn to give up the pleasure we feel in self-righteously blaming others. Healing happens when we see things differently. The question is: do you want suffering or peace? It's that simple. "
9 " We have already said more goodbyes than are necessary. Those were goodbyes that brought about the end of partings. We taught each other that no parting is possible. "
10 " Relationships are valuable no matter who they are between. "
11 " Life is not a competition. No one has to lose for someone else to win. A true blessing blesses everyone. A fragmented love which makes others lose will eventually turn upon itself and destroy the very thing which was being so carefully guarded. An open-hearted love will follow a course which can only lead somewhere good. "
12 " It is one thing to lose people you love. It is another to lose yourself. That is a greater loss. "
13 " Lies rob us of our trust and we project our untrustworthiness onto everyone around us. Have you ever noticed that the innocent are very trusting? They neither lie nor hold other people’s lies against them. Liars, on the other hand, see sabotage everywhere. "
14 " Most of our battle is asking the right question. Growth always requires the questioning of one’s current position. "
15 " It takes courage to tread one’s own course, but only at the beginning of each new stage. We hope that we are safe but we are not yet sure. "
16 " Have no delusions of grandeur or plotting schemes. Have flawless confidence because you are worthy and sacred. "
17 " We can learn to use the pain in our relationships to transform us thereby turning them into entities which heal not harm. "
18 " It's easy to be nice to people who don't mean that much to us. But if something matters to us, we will fight to make it work in our favour. Do we even know what is in our favour? "
19 " We are connected as one creation which has many interrelated parts. We are family. Whoever you hold accountable for their mistaken identity holds you in the dream. "
20 " Healing has its own power and, once started, it moves ahead methodically knowing exactly what track to take for the most efficient and effective results. "
