It's up to us to call forth our greatest light and love and be the miracle, right here, right now. - Regina Brett

Once you evict the excess, you can embrace the essentials: that which is beautiful, meaningful, and enhances your life. When you finally let go of the person you used to be, you get to discover the person you are now and the person you want to become.

I was born with the idea that I had to be perfect in all things because deep down I felt like one big fat nothing at everything. All my life, my brain has sent out false warning signals. It constantly tells me that if I'm not perfect, I have failed. My brain is color-blind. It sees the world in black or white, yes or no, right or wrong, all or nothing .The gray matter between my ears can't discern that there are shades of gray coloring everything in life, that the world isn't a class you take pass-fail.

I used to think only people like Mother Teresa and Gandhi had a mission in life. We all have one. How do you find it? You listen to your life.

All those dead-end jobs? There's no such thing. In God's economy, nothing is ever wasted. The dots all connect in time.
