If someone is not treating you with love and respect, it is a gift if they walk away from you. If that person doesn't walk away, you will surely endure many years of suffering with him or her. Walking away may hurt for a while, but your heart will eventually heal. Then you can choose what you really want. You will find that you don't need to trust others as much as you need to trust yourself to make the right choices. ― Don Miguel Ruiz, The Four Agreements: A Practical Guide to Personal Freedom
Imagination was given to man to compensate him for what he is not; a sense of humor to console him for what he is. ― Francis Bacon "Imagination"
I Cherish God's Hidden Gifts
I look within and touch my moods. I taste the melancholy and hear my raucous laughter at my own foibles. Suddenly, a still small voice whispers in my ear. It speaks of eternity and grandeur beyond my humanity. It tells me of my divinity, my unity as one of the Infinite Self expressing me and all I know, can ever know in myriad wonderful and diverse images and likenesses of Itself. I embrace this awareness, let it fill me, and accept Its gifts.
So, now, Power and Presence fill me and teach me the truth and limitlessness of my power and presence in my world as I engage with all my world, its people, and things. A harsh word gives me the wisdom to love myself more. Storms and tumultuous events evoke my inner poise. I become the calm eye centered as peace amid any chaos. Each day blesses me with new never imagined gifts while fulfilling my fondest dreams in loving quiet ways. I thrive and prosper now with every gift.
As I write this, I draw my ideas from on high or maybe, from deep within or both and, I cherish these hidden gifts of all-encompassing all-pervading God wisdom forever immediately available to us all. I celebrate. And so, it is.

First
you ask definitely for direction, then it will enter your consciousness as a
definite thought; then in your turn you give it back the thought and it will
give you back the thing. It answers every question, solves every problem; it is
the solution to every difficulty.It is like the sunlight of eternal truth
bursting through the clouds of obscurity and bathing the whole world in glory.
It is the absolute that you are dealing with and nothing else. – Ernest Holmes
