“Don’t compare yourself to other people…don’t compare, don’t compare, don’t compare! It doesn’t matter how much more others have in any area, you are beautiful exactly the way you are. And when you start to accept this, find the best of what is in you and make use of it, life will be beautiful as well.” Velinda
From my book: This River Called Life, A Letter to My Children
“Great freedom comes in taking risks, stepping outside that tiny little line that society prescribes as “normal” Pam Grout
Life is full of possibility, healing, growth and re-birth. A negative past does not have to define who you are. What has been in your life up till now has nothing to do with what can be
Most of us are probably allured by the attractive notion that effortless relationships exist. Whether happily ever after marriages, friendships which last forever, or parenting, we would all like to believe that our most intimate relationships are unconditional and strong enough to withstand whatever may come. However, at some point in our lives we need to face the reality that relationships require effort to keep them alive and positive. Even wonderful, close, strong relationships can be destroyed by neglect.
“We come this way but once. We can either tiptoe through life and hope that we get to death without being too badly bruised or we can live a full, complete life achieving our goals and realizing our wildest dreams” Bob Proctor
“Do what you do that feels effortless. I want the freedom to do what is in my heart”
“You have two choices…endure the deprivation of failure or adjust to the sacrifices of success” Tom Ferry

“When I was a kid in school and finished my class work or a test early, I would take out a piece of paper and write my name in three columns on every line. I was the only kid in the class who did that. One day the teacher came over to ask me why I would always write my name over and over again. I told her that one day I was going to be famous and people are going to ask me for my autograph so I am practicing writing it now” Tyrone Montgomery, NFL player for the Oakland Raiders
“People seem to lose faith so easily. Isn’t that the whole point in believing? Tomorrow always brings promises that yesterday couldn’t make” Jenna Gilbert 
Nothing is more important than to know yourself. This makes all things on all planes in all realities easy.
To grow and change we need to integrate insight into our lives. The irony is that we create all the situations in our lives to teach us things. We set ourselves up for lessons and when they come along we feel hurt. Self-pity means you need to be aware of your illusions. The very hurt and fear that you feel is part of the lesson you yourself have created. When you stop resisting the feeling and realized that the persons involved in the situation are just actors on the stage, then you are free to receive insights into what is going on. If you know yourself, then your life works. You do not have problems in one-to-one relationships. You do not set yourself up to be rejected or dumped on, lied to or ripped off. You do not set yourself up to be bored or frustrated, for you are in tune with and following your creative life path.
