Someday everything will make perfect sense, so for now: laugh at
the confusion, smile through the tears and keep reminding
yourself that everything happens for a reason.
Do not reach up to the heavens
when you want to touch a star.
Reach inside.
Your soul is full of them.
It is good to have an end to journey toward;
but in the end it's the journey that matters.
When you find yourself reacting with anger or opposition to any
person or circumstance, realize that you are only struggling with
yourself. Putting up resistance is the response of defenses created by
old hurts. When you relinquish this anger, you will be healing yourself
and cooperating with the flow of the universe.
Know that the world 'out there' reflects your reality 'in here.' The
people you react to most strongly, whether with love or hate, are
projections of your inner world. What you most hate is what you most
deny in yourself. What you most love is what you most wish for in
yourself. Use the mirror of relationships to guide your evolution. The
goal is total self-knowledge. When you achieve that, what you most want
will automatically be there, and what you most dislike will disappear.
Shed the burden of judgment and you will feel much lighter. Judgment
imposes right and wrong on situations that just are. Everything can be
understood and forgiven, but when you judge, you cut off understanding
and shut down the process of learning to love. In judging others, you
reflect your lack of self-acceptance. Remember that every person you
forgive adds to your self-love.
