Thanks Lori. I feel the same way regarding the universe and being plugged in. I think I was connected the other day because I felt such intense happiness and I couldn't specifically say why.

"Everyone wants happiness. No one wants pain. But you can't have a rainbow without a little rain."

"New beginnings are often disguised as painful endings..."
~Lao Tzu

THE VOICE

There is a voice inside of you
That whispers all day long,
"I feel that this is right for me,
I know that this is wrong."
No teacher, preacher, parent, friend
Or wise man can decide
What's right for you-just listen to
The voice that speaks inside.

Amen !! !!!

Since I haven't posted for a few days, I have two quotes today.

"When you forgive, you in no way change the past, but you sure do change the future."

"The Bad News: There is no key to happiness.
The Good News: It isn't locked."

"You must learn a new way to think before you can master a new way to be." ~Marianne Williamson

"Resist impulses to label yourself with descriptions that limit you in any way. Statements such as, "I'm not good at," or "I've never been interested in..." only serve to strengthen your self-image of limitation. You can be good at and enjoy anything if you decide to."
~Dr. Wayne Dyer

Dr. Hershey, these quotes have a powerful impact upon my psyche.

I love and follow many of the people you quote.

As for the no rainbows without pain, yes, I get that. So I try to reframe how I see difficulties and crises. I ask, "Ok, so what can I learn from this? How can I grow from this opportunity?"

Sometimes, it's just, "Wow, what a curious experience this is. Feeling this emotion." In this way, I can say that my life experience has been rich with opportunities to feel the vast range of human emotion. Can I appreciate pain or sorrow? In a way because juxtaposed against their opposites, I can more fully experience and appreciate being pain-free and happy. I know relief. I don't take this day's well-being for granted.

"To everything, there is a season." I have lived through tremendous grief, pain, worry, demoralization. I look back and now can see the blessing and wisdom of it all.

I am thankful.

I especially like Dr. Dyer's quote about labels. My life has taught me that we are powerful creators and our words create.

Lori,
I think I have read every Dyer and Chopra book....They are both so very inspirational.

Two quotes today...

"Don't carry your mistakes around with you. Instead, place them under your feet and use them as stepping stones."

"There are plenty of difficult obstacles in your path. Don't allow yourself to become one of them."
~Ralph Marston
