Every person, all the events of your life are there because you have drawn them there. What you choose to do with them is up to you. . . . Just be who you are, calm and clear and bright. Automatically, as we shine who we are, asking ourselves every minute is this what I really want to do, doing it only when we answer yes, automatically that turns away those who have nothing to learn from who we are and attracts those who do, and from whom we have to learn as well. . . .
I've either heard or read similar statements several times over the past year, and it's finally getting through! It's okay to be who you are, even if some folks don't particularly like it. Another:
The Golden Rule doesn't work. How would you like to meet a masochist who did unto others as he would have them do unto him [or her]? . . . I do not exist to impress the world. I exist to live my lfe in a way that will make me happy. . . Anybody who's ever mattered, anybody who's ever been happy, anybody who's ever given any gift into the world has been a divinely selfish soul, living for his [or her] own best interest. No exceptions.
And finally---"Our true work is this voyage, this adventure." What great ideas.
