“Only bad things happen quickly, . . . Virtually all the happiness-produ cing processes in our lives take time, usually a long time: learning new things, changing old behaviors, building satisfying relationships, raising children.

“People talk about things happening and it being "unbelievable," and it's exactly the reverse. It's really believable, but we are so conditioned to believe that these kinds of things are just coincidences, that they're just things that show up arbitrarily in our lives, when the fact is that all of us have this kind of guidance available to us.” PeopleBelieveKindFactsShowsOur LivesHappeningsAvailableThings HappenGuidanceReverseCoincidenceUnbelievableBelievable Author:Wayne Dyer
“Oh sure, I have lots of fears. My job is to conquer my fears. The irony of being a performer is that I have huge insecurities. Each of us is responsible for what happens in our lives. When good things happen, we take ownership, but when bad things happen we often don't take responsibility. There are no mistakes or accidents. Consciousness is everything and all things begin with a thought. We are responsible for our own fate. We reap what we sow, we get what we give and we pull in what we put out.” GivingHappensJobsMistakeConsciousnessResponsibilityOur LivesFateHugeAll ThingsResponsibleGood ThingsAccidentsThings HappenConquerIronyInsecurityBad ThingsPerformersOwnershipTaking ResponsibilityReapBad Things HappenWhen Bad Things Happen Author:Madonna Ciccone
“We have some role in almost everything that happens in our lives. When "bad" things happen, the mistake is not in the role, but in calling them bad. For in calling them bad, we call ourselves bad, since we had a role in their creation. We then have only two choices: blame ourselves, or disown our creative power, neither of which is congruent with our highest purpose.” TwoHappensPurposeChoicesMistakeRolesCreativeOur LivesCreationCallingHighestBlameThings HappenBad ThingsCreative PowerBad Things HappenTwo ChoicesWhen Bad Things Happen Author:Neale Donald Walsch
“We create our own reality because of our inner emotional - our subconscious - reality draws us into those situations from which we learn. We experience it as strange things happening to us (and) we meet the people in our lives that we need to learn from. And so we create these circumstances at a very deep metaphysical and subconscious level.” PeopleNeedsRealityLevelsSituationOur LivesEmotionalStrangeCircumstancesDrawsHappeningsThings HappenSubconsciousMetaphysicalStrange ThingsVery DeepPeople In Our Lives Author:Edgar Mitchell
