Life brings us only angels

• I have sent you nothing but angels and miracles. See the perfection in this moment. Your soul chose your life to create the opportunity to fulfil your soul’s agenda.

• With synchronicity, all the resources we need are made available for us at the precise moment that is appropriate. The people who come into our lives are the ones we need at that moment in time.

• Especially thank the annoying things and people who are teaching and challenging you to embody your highest self even when you don’t feel like it. Brian Johnson

The best teachers in our lives are those we struggle with

• Imagine that everyone you know is enlightened. The people who you meet are all here to teach you something. Perhaps the obnoxious driver or disrespectful teenager is here to teach you about patience, the punk rocker might be here to teach you to be less judgemental. Richard Carlson

They show us what we need to change in our lives

• Anytime you have a negative feeling toward anyone, you’re living in an illusion. You’re not seeing reality. Something inside of you has to change. But what do we generally do when we have a negative feeling? ‘He is to blame, she is to blame. She’s got to change.’ No! The world’s all right. The one who has to change is you. Anthony de Mello
• Change

They can help us identify our own shadows and repressed traits

• Our indignation over the behaviour of others is usually about an unresolved aspect of ourselves. Debbie Ford
• What I discovered was my potential to act like the people I had been most harshly judging. It became clear that I had to be on the lookout for the traits that most bothered me in others. Debbie Ford
• The particular egoic patterns that you react to most strongly in others and misperceive as their identity tend to be the same patterns that are also in you, but that you are unable or unwilling to detect within yourself. Eckhart Tolle
• Ask someone to give a description of the personality type which he finds most despicable, most unbearable and hateful, and most impossible to get along with, and he will produce a description of his own repressed characteristics. These very qualities are so unacceptable to him precisely because they represent his own repressed side; only that which we cannot accept within ourselves do we find impossible to live with in others. Edward Whitmont
• If you hate a person, you hate something in him that is part of yourself. What isn’t part of ourselves doesn’t disturb us. Hermann Hesse
• Difficult and unpleasant as it may be to accept, we often feel most hostile to those who remind us of aspects of ourselves that we prefer not to see. Jim Loehr and Tony Schwartz
• I realized that I only judged people when they displayed a quality I could not accept in myself. If someone was a show- off, I no longer judged them because I knew that I, too, was a show- off. Only when I had completely convinced myself that I was not capable of a certain behaviour would I get upset and point my finger at the other person. When we are blaming others, we are only denying an aspect of ourselves. Debbie Ford
• Our parents, our children, our spouses, and our friends will continue to press every button we have, until we realize what it is that we don’t want to know about ourselves, yet. They will point us to our freedom every time. Byron Katie
• When you have an emotional reaction to what you see, you are judging. That is your signal that you have an issue inside of yourself – with yourself – not with the other person. If you react to evil, look inside yourself for the very thing that so agitates you, and you will find it. If it were not there, you will simply discern, act appropriately, and move on. Gary Zukav
• What you react to in others, you strengthen in yourself. Eckhart Tolle
• The shadow

Be grateful therefore for everyone who passes through your life

• Develop an attitude of gratitude. Say thank you to everyone you meet for everything they do for you. Brian Tracy

• Be grateful for whoever comes, because each guest has been sent as a guide from beyond. Rumi

Don’t just feel gratitude but express it to

• Feeling gratitude and not expressing it is like wrapping a present and not giving it. William Ward
• Silent gratitude isn’t very much use to anyone. Gertrude Stein
• Sit down and write a letter to someone who has exerted a positive influence in your life but whom you have not properly thanked. This can be a teacher or a mentor from your past, a grandparent, or anyone else who helped you in some way. The letter doesn’t have to be long, but make sure that you’re specific about what the person did and how it affected you. Marelisa Fabrega
• Find someone, it can be a friend or a family member, and share what you’re grateful for with each other. You can feed off of each other’s ideas. In addition, if the other person knows you well they can remind you of things you may be leaving out or things you’ve forgotten. Marelisa Fabrega
• Nine-tenths of wisdom is appreciation. Go find someone’s hand and squeeze it, while there’s still time. Dale Dauten

• Somebody saw something in you once – and that is partly why you’re where you are today. Find a way to thank them. Don Ward
• Who needs to know how much you appreciate them? Are you willing to share appreciation today? Appreciation is a loving way to communicate that you don’t take yourself or people for granted! Iyanla Vanzant
• Make it a habit to tell people thank you. To express your appreciation, sincerely and without the expectation of anything in return.  Truly appreciate those around you, and you’ll soon find many others around you.  Truly appreciate life, and you’ll find that you have more of it.  Ralph Marston
