“You can’t “make” someone your soul mate. You can try but it will always be very hard work. Human relationships are hard even when they are easy, so it’s important to be in one with a soul mate. She felt she could learn to love Shane; that she might grow to love him over time. She always felt she could make her mind up and then accomplish anything, but the heart and the mind have different agendas. If she was going to try to make this relationship work, it had to come from her heart, not from ‘making up her mind’. You don’t have to “try” to be anything when you are with your soul mate because they are looking for who you are, not for who you are trying to be.”

“I wanted to give you everything, to withhold nothing from you, but then one day there was nothing left to give.”

“When you give everything, you have nothing to lose.”

“You are the creator. Get out that old box of paints and brushes and start drawing love into your life.”

“I always thought that soul mates were meant to be forever but I learned that soul mates are only Meant To Be.”

“The cops will break down your door to save you. God will break down your constitution. Brokenness is not the opposite of wholeness. It's how He gets in.”

“Seeking answers to the questions is what draws us forward. When you have no more questions you can finally live in the satisfaction of the present moment. You have no more questions when you finally learn that love is always the answer.”

“I get so concerned that someone will think I don't care about them that I don't even see they don't care about me.”

“If I keep myself busy I don't know how lonely I am. I only know how busy I am.”

“Love is like the sea. The waves of life, they ebb and flow; they come and go. Time sweeps us away from each other. Love always brings us back.”

“The people who seem to need love the least are the ones who usually need it the most.”
