When you continually think, say, and pursue mood-lifting words, you feel little need for self-medication. Continually align your thoughts, words, and actions with peace and joy. Then your emotions will eventually follow.

Our thoughts, words, and actions produce outcomes. By choosing them, we create positive or negative consequences.

The more we’re unaligned with our conscience, the harder it is to be happy. When we align with our conscience, guilt fades away. “My truth” is often a myth or a mess, but the truth sets me free.

Choose to live in light but have compassion for those who choose darkness. Show them an alternative but don’t live like they do.
