Mastery of Love

A L O H A From Honolulu!

The trials you face will
introduce you to
your strengths. Epictetus


Have you ever noticed that
when we are in a good mood,
we feel superior to the anxious?
It's a favorable comparison
and we love feeling good
about ourselves.

Then when we are concerned
about something and upset,
others who seem happy and
smiling seem to us to be fools.

Funny how all encompassing
moods can be.

Instead of
following negative thoughts
down a rabbit hole, I look
to see any kernel of info
they are bringing.

Then I throw them out
the door like bums
being tossed from a bar.

Don't follow
where they Lead!




 It is only possible to
live happily ever after 
on a day-to-day basis.
        Margaret Bonnano




No one else can make you happy.
Happiness is the result of
love coming out of you.
This is the Mastery of Love.
 Don Miguel Ruiz
