More Quotes by Alan Cohen
Sometimes when things seem to be going wrong, they are going right for reasons you are yet to understand.
We believe we are hurt when we don't receive love. But that is not what hurts us. Our pain comes when we do not give love. We were born to love. You might say that we are divinely created love machines. We function most powerfully when we are giving love. The world has led us to believe that our wellbeing is dependent on other people loving us. But this is kind of upside down thinking that has caused so many of our problems. The truth is our well being is dependent on our giving love. It is not about what comes back; it is about what goes out!

You give your power away when you make someone or something outside of you more important than what is inside of you.
You don’t need to get anyone else to agree with your truth. You just need to live it.
The door you open to give love is the very one through which love arrives.
You always have energy to do what you are passionate about.
Revisit your past only to recognize how far you have come.
Upgrade your past by seeing it with appreciation.
Use pain as a stepping stone, not a camp ground.
