Looking for external solutions to our problems doesn't work. If we don't change our thinking, we will bring that thinking right along with us to the next job or the next marriage or the new house in the country. Our experience of life is the creation of our own thinking > perception > emotion > behavior. This doesn't mean that people should never change jobs or careers, move to a better location, or even find a new significant other. It simply means that nothing changes on the outside if nothing changes on the inside, where your experience is created -our mind.

Joseph Bailey


Individually and collectively our power to mold the outer circumstances of our lives is profound. Our personal responses to one another and our reactions to events that touch us combine with the actions of others to create a changed environment that affects us. No action, no thought goes unnoticed, unfelt, in this interdependent system of humanity. We share this universe. We are the force behind all that the universe offers.

Karen Casey & Martha Vanceburg



It doesn't interest me what planets are squaring your moon. I want to know if you have touched the center of your own sorrow, if you have been opened by life's betrayals or have become shriveled and closed from fear of further pain.

I have just three things to teach: simplicity, patience, compassion. These three are your greatest treasures. Simple in actions and in thoughts, you return to the source of being. Patient with both friends and enemies, you accord with the way things are. Compassionate toward yourself, you reconcile all beings in the world.

Tao Te Ching


"Great Trouble comes From not knowing what is enough. Great Conflict arises from wanting too much. When we know when enough is enough, there will always be enough."

Lao Tzu


Breezes at dawn have secrets to tell you. Don't slip back to sleep!

Go naturally about the course of your life. Listen to your heart. Listen to your inner voice. What you are guided to do, where you are guided to go, where your attention is directed, the people you meet, the phone calls you receive, the experiences you have - even the problems that arise - these are some ways
the universe can respond to you. Open your eyes. Look around. See how the universe responds. Watch how it dances for you, with you. You are connected to a magical loving universe, one that will come alive for you, dance for you, in ways you cannot imagine - but in ways you will come to know as true. Look within, too. Sometimes the most gentle, quiet, flickering thought-glimmer of an idea, that awareness of a need or desire, or that small bit of inspiration or intuition - is how the universe prepares us for what it wants us to do or receive. Our inner voice, the one in our heart, is an important part of the way we're guided and led down our path.

Melody Beattie


Only in growth, reform, and change, paradoxically enough, is true security to be found.
