• Today I detach from other people's dramas. I love them and pray for them. I am a role model of peace for them. But I no longer rescue them, or put my own needs last. It is my right to be happy and to help others as I feel lovingly guided instead from guilt or obligation. I respect my feelings and expect others to do so too. And so it is!

• I like to help others and count it as my greatest pleasure in life to see a person free himself of the shadows which darken his days.

And I am afraid I am just as delighted as he is.
