“We are whole creatures in potential,
and the true purpose of desire is to unfold
that wholeness, to become what we can be.”

“Through our beloved we are once again brought face to face with what is unresolved in us. We meet again out father’s absence or our brother’s envy, our mother’s cruelty or our sister’s competition. We see our own childhood mirrored in every direction. Through love we are invited to reenter them again but differently, to reexperience and grieve the losses of the past, and thus redeem them.” -Daphne Rose Kingma
“The truth is that we have all come from love, but our relationships have often been a detour from love… Love is the river, each human being a droplet of water, and together, in spite of our fears and resistance, we are returning to love, melting and flowing toward home. We’re all looking for more love. It’s that simple. In the end, nothing else really matters to us. In the beginning and in the middle, we’re connected with the forms of our relationships, what they look like, what our parents think of them, how they stack up in the eyes of the world, and whether we’re getting our share of the goodies: sexually, emotionally, and financially.”
“But in the end, we won’t care about the forms. The forms will be as multitudinous as the stars and all that will matter is the love that was in them. No one can escape the divine upheaval of love. I haven’t; you won’t; our neighbors and strangers and family won’t either. Love is coming to find us. All of us. Because love is our essence. Love is who we are.”~ Daphne Rose Kingma, “The Future of Love” ~
Developing Positive Thinking Habits

“Everything is I can’t instead of I can. I can’t really means I don’t want to. There is a feeling of hopelessness and helplessness. Expectation of the worst is quite likely to bring trouble, for it is in the form of negative suggestions and the subconscious may then cause behavior which will bring trouble.” page 88
“With positive thinking his subconscious mind leads him to perform and behave so that he does the things necessary to succeed reasonably well and to enjoy good health.” page 93
“Negative thinking has the opposite effect. The end result is unhappiness, worry, anxiety, frustration, and hostility. Conflicts produce these emotions and the negative thinker is more subject to emotional illness. He does not like to face reality. He fears to set goals because he anticipates failure, and he is not likely to be successful. His feelings of inferiority are like a ball and chain on his foot. His subconsciously controlled behavior will probably bring failure.” page 94
“The real secret in thinking positively is belief. It is not easy to change the habit of negative thinking, but it can be accomplished. No one can think positively at all times, but it can be developed into a habit so that it is done most of the time. Such thinking is no magic wand to get us out of our difficulties instantly. Determination and patience are needed, with much practice of whatever techniques are used to produce positive thinking habits.” page 94

Are You Going Through The Turmoil Of Change?

“When you really think about it, every cycle of change and period of individuation is about self-discovery. It is an opportunity to reflect, to integrate the past to allow ourselves to grow a little more. Of course, if we shut down when changes come, we don’t grow. And life is all about growing; life is about becoming more and more of who we are and creating more and more of who we can become.” page 134
“Letting go of the old and taking hold of the new is an integral part of living a fruitful and fulfilling life. When we hold on instead of letting go, we pay a big price. Mentally, emotionally, and physically we tie ourselves to the past instead of living in the present. Our souls feel stifled and unhappy.” page 135
“Painful experiences of loss offer us special gifts: a deeper understanding of our soul and our purpose in life, the breaking open of our heart, the awakening of compassion, the mobilizing of courage… I have come to believe that many of us learn our greatest lessons of love through experience of loss. We feel the deep hurt of loss when someone dear to us moves on and we are alone and unsure of what to do next. It is at these moments that the tender hand of God may touch us because we are hurting, no longer captive to the habitual rhythms of our life and therefore more receptive to inner experience and divine guidance.” page 156

“As A man thinketh in his heart, so he is.” Jesus, The Bible
“You are much too tolerant of your mind wanderings, and passively condone your mind’s miscreations.” A Course in Miracles
“With single-mindedness
The master quells his thoughts.
He ends their wandering.
Seated in the cave of his heart,
He finds freedom…
Your worst enemy cannot harm you
As much as your own thoughts,
unguarded.
But once mastered,
No one can help you as much,
Not even your father or mother.”
Buddha
“It is the thoughts in your mind that affect most profoundly your marriages and other relationships.” Henry Grayson, Ph.D., Mindful Loving, page 86.

Allow Yourself The Chance To Grow

“You were happy when you grew through puberty into your adolescent body. However, for some reason, today it is difficult to accept you have outgrown a habit, career, relationship, or even your hometown. You hold on, afraid to let go, trying to make it work, subjecting yourself to physical, emotional, and spiritual pain. ” Iyanla Vanzant, Faith In The Valley, Lessons for Women on the Journey to Peace, page 240.
“If life is going to work in your behalf, you must give yourself permission to grow.” Iyanla Vanzant, Faith In The Valley, Lessons for Women on the Journey to Peace, page 240.
