It&#8217;s when it begins.<br \/>\n&#8211; Marianne Williamson<\/p>\n<p>If you wish to travel far and fast, travel light. Take off all your envies, jealousies, unforgiveness, selfishness, and fears.<br \/>\n&#8211; Glenn Clark<\/p>\n<p>Evil, (ignorance) is like a shadow-it has no real substance of its own,<br \/>\nit is simply a lack of light. You cannot cause a shadow to disappear by<br \/>\ntrying to fight it, stomp on it, by railing against it, or any other<br \/>\nform of emotional or physical resistance. In order to cause a shadow to<br \/>\ndisappear, you must shine light on it.<br \/>\n&#8211; Shakti Gawain<\/p>\n<p>Resign yourself to be happy, for that is what you deserve. Resign<br \/>\nyourself to serve, for that is why you are here. Resign yourself to<br \/>\nforgive, for there is nothing to judge in Truth.

To<br \/>\nmanage our emotions is not to drug them or suppress them, but to<br \/>\nunderstand them so that we can intelligently direct our emotional<br \/>\nenergies and intentions&#8230;. It&#8217;s time for human beings to grow up<br \/>\nemotionally, to mature into emotionally managed and responsible<br \/>\ncitizens. No magic pill will do it.<br \/>\n&#8211; Doc Childre<\/p>\n<p>While our situations in life vary, we each have the capacity to alter<br \/>\nthe course of our lives. We have the ability to become the person who<br \/>\ncontrols the transitions in our lives. We can take steps that will<br \/>\nresult in restored hope, stimulated motivation, and renewed confidence:<br \/>\nsteps that will guarantee a fresh outlook for the future and a new<br \/>\noutcome for our lives. We can attain skills not yet mastered; we can<br \/>\nlearn to face our fears; we can set fresh, fulfilling goals and acquire<br \/>\nthe means to reach those goals. We do not have to continue being held<br \/>\ncaptive by the chain of low self-esteem.<br \/>\n&#8211; Marilyn J.
