You can lose ANYTHING & EVERYTHING that is in the external world, that’s why your happiness must come from within & not from anything that is temporary, everything in this world comes & goes. Your happiness must come from the immovable, unconditional love you feel within yourself FOR yourself. Certainly you will still feel emotions over loss, but how quickly they pass depends on to what degree you are willing to accept what has happened, can you forgive (including yourself), and your willingness to stop trying to control things & stop trying to make something that is impermanent by nature, permanent. ~ Mallory Mikan
The world is changing and people change too, so I am very aware of situations that arise. In life you have to choose what is right and lessons you learn are correct and you tend to try not to make the same mistake twice. ~ Val Hartley-Brazier
