what you think you have always known.

Every decision you make - every decision -
is not a decision about what to do.

All events, occurrences, and situations
turn into opportunities to do what you came here to do.
- Neale Donald Walsch

While the laughter of joy is in
full harmony with our deeper life,
the laughter of amusement
should be kept apart from it.

and to seek in them opportunities for exercising wit.
- Lewis Carroll

I take every opportunity to articulate to others
the ways that they have blessed and influenced me.

Each of us is burdened by an unlimited number of
expectations (demands) that we hold for the actions of others.
We "know" that there is a right way to do things,
and are often outraged when our expectations are not met.
Usually, we are unaware that we merely
have a strong opinion and point-of-view,
and are sure that we know how everything is supposed to be.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

We all should choose our friends carefully.
I used to think that no one could know me better than somebody else,
because you're inside yourself, your body, you can't see yourself.

other people who are willing to tell you who you are,
which are usually judgmental people ...
we should really surround ourselves with the ones
that adore us and believe in the highest of us.
- Jewel

Even something as well intentioned as

is your own happiness.
Unconditional universal forgiveness is
the key to your own happiness.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie
