1. Emotional sickness is avoiding reality at any cost. Emotional health is facing reality at any cost.
2. The quickest way to change your attitude toward pain is to accept the fact that everything that happens to us has been designed for our spiritual growth.
3. By far the most important form of attention we can give our loved ones is listening... True listening is love in action.
4. Human beings are poor examiners, subject to superstition, bias, prejudice, and a PROFOUND tendency to see what they want to see rather than what is really there.
5. Problems do not go away. They must be worked through or else they remain, forever a barrier to the growth and development of the spirit.
6. Love is the free exercise of choice. Two people love each other only when they are quite capable of living without each other but choose to live with each other.
7. Integrity is never painless.
Saying a nice thing always feels good.
Using honey works only but 100% of the time.
8. The best decision-makers are those who are willing to suffer the most over their decisions but still retain their ability to be decisive.
9. Since the primary motive of the evil is disguise, one of the places evil people are most likely to be found is within the church.
Costumes and masks are not just for Halloween. Most things are not as they appear to be. It's all smoke and mirrors - have you noticed?
10. Whenever we seek to avoid the responsibility for our own behavior, we do so by attempting to give that responsibility to some other individual or organization or entity.
Insanity is expecting others to change so that I can be happy.
11. The truth is that our finest moments are most likely to occur when we are feeling deeply uncomfortable, unhappy, or unfulfilled.
There must be a better way.
12. Life is difficult. This is a great truth, one of the greatest truths. It is a great truth because once we truly see this truth, we transcend it.
If I don't believe that I am bigger than my problems there's little to no hope for me.
13. Since [narcissists] deep down, feel themselves to be faultless, it is inevitable that when they are in conflict with the world they will invariably perceive the conflict as the world's fault.
We love to project and rather than changing how we see the world (what we projecting moment to moment) we'd much rather walk up to the screen and try to change what's on the screen.
