Quit hanging on to the handrails . . . Let go. Surrender. Go for the ride of your life. Do it every day.

---

Letting go means we stop trying to force outcomes and make people behave. It means we give up resistance to the way things are, for the moment. It means we stop trying to do the impossible-controlling that which we cannot-and instead, focus on what is possible-which usually means taking care of ourselves. And we do this in gentleness, kindness, and love, as much as possible.

---

Each moment in time we have it all, even when we think we don't.

---

Choosing to take responsibility for ourselves and for the consequences our choices create looks like hard work, but it really sets us free.

---

Embrace and love all of yourself - past, present, and future. Forgive yourself quickly and as often as necessary. Encourage yourself. Tell yourself good things about yourself.

---

Let go of your expectations. The universe will do what it will. Sometimes your dreams will come true. Sometimes they won't. Sometimes when you let go of a broken dream, another one gently takes its place. Be aware of what is, not what you would like to be, taking place.

---

Striving for excellence is a positive quality. Striving for perfection is self-defeating.

---

If somebody rejects you or your choices, you are still real, and you are still worth every bit as much as you would be if you had not been rejected.

---

You don't have to search so hard for meaning and destiny. If you focus on keeping yourself clear and in balance and you live from your heart, destiny and your highest-good path will unfold naturally at your feet.

---

Remember to be kind. Remember to be loving. Remember to feel all your feelings and to take care of yourself. But most of all, remember to be happy.
