Now it is time for us to focus on what happens next. The more we delve into how we got where we are, the more we stay where we were. The more we analyze what is not working, the more things do not work. And the more we consider how we would like it to be, the more things become as we would have them. The choice is ours.
Real spirituality is beyond hope.
Hope means there is a chance things may turn out as we wish, and if we are lucky we may get what we want. Inner knowing, on the other hand, proceeds from the awareness that love is present now, well-being is our natural state, and all is really well. Yes, we may have hit a storm on way over, but that does not mean we have to hit one on the way back. Our history is not our destiny, and our destiny begins now.
