Points to Ponder
"Everyone thinks of changing the world but no one thinks of changing himself." –Leo Tolstoy
"It really is as simple as everyone wants to feel good and be loved and respected for whom they are. No one should have to jump through hoops to achieve this basic level of humanity." –Vina Buuck
"We can search the world for happiness but unless we carry it within us, it eludes us." –Emerson
"Change your mind and change your world."
–A Course in Miracles
"When you experience lack, it’s not because the universe is withholding goodness from you. It is because you are standing in the way of receiving your good. The way out of the maze is often through a tunnel of love." –Vina
