You are no longer working against the grain of the universe; you're working with it... You have been forgiven by God and now you can forgive yourself. All self hate, self-despising, self-rejection, drop away, and you accept yourself in God, respect yourself, and love yourself... You cease to move into yourself, away from others. You give up your antagonism. You begin to move toward others in love. God moved toward you in gracious, outgoing love, and you move toward others in that same outgoing love.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8170</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you happen to be one of the fretful minority who can do creative work, never force an idea; you'll ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52232]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you happen to be one of the fretful minority who can do creative work, never force an idea; you'll abort it if you do.
