Can You Love Too Much?

It has become somewhat fashionable for people (particularly women) in the self-development realm to proclaim that their problem is that they "love too much and have to learn how to let other people love them". Everything about that is incorrect and ultimately unhelpful. You cannot love too much. Genuine love does not come from your limited and tire-able self but from Source. People who feel that t Read more of this blog post »

Writing by Donna Goddard
“When it comes to writing fiction, I have three nonnegotiable guidelines. It must be FAIR (the Divine values everyone; no one can be existentially abandoned, which does not negate their faults and failures). It must be REAL (all characters must eventually face their issues honestly, as in life). It must be SIMPLE (if something cannot be explained simply, it is not understood well enough).”

“It would be hard if you were trying to be someone that you weren’t, but being yourself is the easiest thing in the world because you are already it!”

Nanima by Donna Goddard
"In Nanima, a woman visits her house for the first time in a very long time. It has a lot to deal with spirituality and healing and how the church is a foundation for that healing journey. At first I didn't grasp the concept but as I kept reading I th" Read more of this review »

Quotes by Donna Goddard  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“A balanced inner calmness radiates from a peaceful centre. It neither craves others' approval nor rejects others' presence. It neither pulls towards nor pushes away. It has a reverent attitude towards life and all its inhabitants.”
Donna Goddard, The Love of Devotion

“Don’t feel bad about feeling bad. Don’t be frightened of feeling afraid. Don’t be angry about getting angry. There is no need to give up when we are feeling depressed. Nor should we be dismayed at the grief which often accompanies the outgrowing of anything which needs outgrowing. We can be glad that our soul is speaking to us and pushing us onwards. We frequently need to persevere with a period of inner turmoil before the dust can settle and be swept out the door.”
Donna Goddard, The Love of Devotion

“Dancing, at its best, is independence and intimacy in balance.”
Donna Goddard, The Love of Devotion

“Keep me away from the wisdom which does not cry, the philosophy which does not laugh and the greatness which does not bow before children.”
Kahlil Gibran, Mirrors of the Soul

“When you love you should not think you can direct the course of love, for love, if it finds you worthy, directs your course.”
Khalil Gibran

“Your daily life is your temple and your religion.”
Kahill Gibran

“Sadness is but a wall between two gardens.”
Kahlil Gibran, Sand and Foam

“You have been told that, even like a chain, you are as weak as your weakest link.
This is but half the truth.
You are also as strong as your strongest link.
To measure you by your smallest deed is to reckon the power of the ocean
by the frailty of its foam.
To judge you by your failures is to cast blame upon the seasons for their inconstancy.”
Kahlil Gibran, The Prophet
