Ecstacy

"Decide in favor of ecstasy, and whatever pain happens through that decision, accept it with joy, with thankfulness. The more gratefully you accept it as part of growth, the sooner it will disappear - and it will not leave even a trace on you; you will be unscratched by it. If you cling to it too long, it will leave wounds. Even if they heal, the marks will remain." -  Osho

Better Days

"Speak quietly to yourself & promise there will be better days. whisper gently to yourself and provide assurance that you really are extending your best effort. console your bruised and tender spirit with reminders of many other successes. offer comfort in practical and tangible ways -- as if you were encouraging your dearest friend. recognize that on certain days the greatest grace is that the day is over and you get to close your eyes. tomorrow comes more brightly." - Mary Anne Radmacher (Learning Wisdom Everyday)

Find Peace

"Find peace within your heart today. It is there, hiding behind the illusions of... fear. Your level of peace is a good gauge for where your connection to God/Source is at any moment. When you find peace in the chaos, you know that you are deeply connected to God.

When you have anxiety, you know that you may have lost that connection, or perhaps your "signal" is low. Go within to boost your connection. You will know you are fully connected by the level of peace that you feel." - Sherri Lane

Managing Our Emotions

"Emotions are the next frontier to be understood and conquered. To manage our emotions is not to drug them or suppress them, but to understand them so that we can intelligently direct our emotional energies and intentions.... It's time for human beings to grow up emotionally, to mature into emotionally managed and responsible citizens. No magic pill will do it."  - Doc Childre
