Gabrielle Bernstein Quotes

We're not really brought up in a culture where we believe we're meant to be happy, that peace is our birthright. It's not what we're taught; quite the opposite, actually. With all the expectations and the negative stories going on in the world, we have a lot to overcome.

Would we succeed in any way now Ian had gone? Were we good enough on our own . . . without him? We were scared.
