As we allow ourselves to realize we are wounded, to be aware of the
\npain and go deeper and deeper to its source, we reach deep into the
\nwell of our being to release old hurts, old poisons. That’s why we
\nembrace pain. It’s not because we love the fact that it hurts.
\nNobody likes to hurt. But we choose to embrace pain because it’s
\na piercing, an opening of a wound that allows the hurtful poison to be
\nreleased. Then we can let it heal.
\n– Marilyn C. Barrick<\/p>\n
Everything you are against weakens you. Everything you are for empowers you.
\n– Wayne Dyer<\/p>\n
When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be. When I let go of what I have, I receive what I need.
\n– Tao te Ching<\/p>\n
The essence of all religions is love, compassion, and tolerance.
\nKindness is my true religion. The clear proof of a person’s love of God
\nis if that person genuinely shows love to fellow human beings.
\n– the Dalai Lama

\nWhat looks like a loss may be the very event which is subsequently
\nresponsible for helping to produce the major achievement of your life.
\n– Srully D. Blotnick

\nDestiny is not a matter of chance, it is a matter of choice. It is not a thing to be waited for; it is a thing to be achieved.
\n– William Jennings Bryan<\/p>\n
…there can never be a difference in what you really are and what love is.
