4 oktober "We may, in the depth of difficulty and despair, long for a happier history and more promising present conditions. For our spiritual development, however, our antagonists and afflictions are necessary foils against which we test ourselves in order to grow into all we are ultimately ca...

3 oktober "Many, many women who love too much discover that this obsession with another person represents, on a daily basis, ninety percent or more of who they are in terms of their thoughts, feelings, behavior, and use of their personal energy. Only ten percent is left over for dealing with ev...

2 oktober "Will you, like an alchemist striving to extract gold from base metals, search for what is precious among the dreariest and most discouraging aspects of your life? If you do, you will find it there, awaiting your conscious discovery." Ga jij, net als een alchemist die probeert om...

23 september "When something or someone isn't the way we'd like, we can either stay poised or indulge in an emotional binge. Staying poised lets us hang on to our dignity, build up our self-esteem, and deepen our serenity. Indulging in nagging, scolding, crying, pleading, raging, and threatenin...

22 september "When our recovery becomes our first priority, when our attention is on it rather than him, then our higher self steps in and does for us what we cannot do on our own." Wanneer ons herstel onze hoogste prioriteit wordt, wanneer onze aandacht meer daarop gericht is dan op hem, ...
