\u201cEverything we do is infused with the energy with which we do it. If we’re frantic, life will be frantic. If we’re peaceful, life will be peaceful. And so our goal in any situation becomes inner peace.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u2015 Marianne Williamson<\/p>\n

And this…<\/p>\n

\u201cLove is what we are born with. Fear is what we learn. The spiritual journey is the unlearning of fear and prejudices and the acceptance of love back in our hearts. Love is the essential reality and our purpose on earth. To be consciously aware of it, to experience love in ourselves and others, is the meaning of life. Meaning does not lie in things. Meaning lies in us.\u201d\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u201cAccording to ancient Asian philosophy, life is not a circle but a spiral. Every life lesson that has ever been presented to you (which means everything you have ever been through) will come back again, in some form, until you learn it. And the stakes each time will be higher. Whatever you\u2019ve learned will bear greater fruit. Whatever you\u2019ve failed to learn will bear harsher consequences. Whatever didn\u2019t work in your life before this point was a reflection of the fact that you hadn\u2019t yet integrated the different parts of yourself. Where you didn\u2019t yet accept yourself, you attracted a lack of acceptance in others. Where you hadn\u2019t yet dealt with your shadows, you manifested shadowy situations. Broken parts of you encountered broken parts of others. So now you know! That was then and this is now.\u201d <\/p><\/blockquote>\n
