1 oktober "Our souls don't give us choices about the patterns of our lives. They know what we need to experience, and they cause us to attract those needed experiences without our conscious consent. But we do have choices as to how we confront those experiences. This is where our free will oper...

30 september "Every situational challenge is a spiritual challenge as well. The greater the challenge, the greater the potential for spiritual growth." Iedere moeilijke situatie is tegelijk ook een spirituele uitdaging. Hoe groter de uitdaging, hoe groter het potentieel voor spirituele gro...

29 september "Remember that we get worse until we get better, that we go deeper into the problem in order to finally surrender to healing it - whatever that might mean." Onthoud dat het eerst slechter met ons gaat voordat het beter met ons zal gaan, dat we dieper in het probleem gaan om on...

28 september "Every difficult situation in life is a test, and as we evolve, so do our tests, from situations that try our physical courage to those that try our moral courage, our personal integrity, and our capacity for self-knowledge. None of these tests is easy, but once we've passed a test...

27 september "The design of your life cannot be readily seen while you're busy living it. Trust not only that there is a design and that it's beautiful, but that the more you trust it, the more beautiful it becomes." Het ontwerp van je leven is niet gemakkelijk te zien terwijl je ermee bez...

26 september "Physical illness can serve as an indicator of our psychological evasions. It alerts us that an issue demands to be addressed, and makes ignoring that issue sufficiently painful to get our attention. Through the very symptoms it manifests, the body can point to whatever we're tryin...

25 september "Every illness, every injury, every experience of suffering serves ultimately to cleanse and to purify. Though we may not always understand exactly how this takes place, if we keep this teaching in mind, then we may begin to discern some of the valuable ways our difficulties serve ...

24 september "Healing comes through a change of consciousness, a change of heart. Healing comes through forgiveness of ourselves, forgiveness of life and of God. Healing comes when we relinquish our beliefs about what should be and become willing to accept and eventually even appreciate what si...

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, ...

"Every problem is a pathway to God, designed by your soul to get your attention."

Ieder probleem is een weg naar God, ontworpen door je ziel om jouw aandacht te krijgen.

20 september "Recovery from loving too much is for those who want it, not for those who need it. Most women need to recover from all the big and little ways they harm themselves and others through forcing issues, trying to manage and control people and events, practicing denial, and indulging t...

19 september "It's vital that we see our failures as lessons - and more than that, as our pathway to God. After all, it isn't what we do well that brings about our spiritual surrender, but what we cannot do at all." Het is van vitaal belang dat we onze mislukkingen zien als lessen - en mee...

18 september "Except for the physical abuse and/or emotional humiliation, the violent relationship, with all its intensity, best fits our culture's idea of how 'real love' is expressed. No woman in a stable, healthy relationship is ever wooed with the intensity that an abuser directs toward his...

17 september "If we want to change our lives, it is more important that we change our attitudes rather than our circumstances. Unless we change our attitudes, it is unlikely that our circumstances will ever really change." Als we ons leven willen veranderen is het belangrijker dat we onze ...
