I set out on a journey - not a journey. From the happiness we seek to the happiness we are...

And no experience was wasted, it either opened my Heart or opened my eyes.

I thought I wasn't strong enough, but I did it. Maybe because I had no choice :)

I didn't "choose" some experiences, but thanks to them I discovered a strength in myself that can no longer be easily taken from me.

It doesn't mean I don't need anyone anymore, but I don't need anyone... who takes away my energy.

It has worked for me to expect nothing and fear nothing...

More than being important, being happy has worked for me...

It worked for me not to be "nice" and to be able to say no, because being nice does not always mean happy, satisfied and fulfilled....

And so I enjoy the journey - not the journey, from my self to my Self, from the happiness we seek to the Happiness we are... Monika Doreán/ Born for Joy
