"Close your eyes and trust; go in the direction of what makes you feel authentically lighter and brighter. There is no good or bad. Retribution feels vibrationally better than desperation. It's better than sitting still because your energy has movement. Frustration is better than retribution, because now you're not projecting negative energy outward, you're processing it within. Apathy is better than frustration; at least you've reached some form of detachment. Optimism is better than apathy. Optimism becomes happiness. Co-creative inspiration follows, and then comes joy."
