"There is no desire that anyone holds for any other reason than that they believe they will feel better in the achievement of it. Whether it is a material object, a physical state of being, a relationship, a condition, or a circumstance - at the heart of every desire is the desire to feel good. And so, the standard of success in life is not the things or the money - the standard of success is absolutely the amount of joy you feel."

-- Esther Hicks

I realize now the time I wasted in this way; instead of enjoying her and turning aside from these preoccupations with the thought, â€˜She is untrustworthy as she is beautiful. She takes love as plants do water, lightly, thoughtlessly.”
“Keeping a journal is like taking good care of oneâ€™s heart.”
