Over time, we amass limiting beliefs about how life supposedly is - beliefs that are not valid. Then we allow these limiting beliefs to stop us from fully living our happiest lives.

The history of the world shows that peoples and societies do not have to pass through a fixed series of stages in the course of development.

Denial has been a way of life for me for many years. I actually believe in denial.

Even on the spiritual path, we have things we'll tend to cover up or be in denial about.

Life is a long preparation for something that never happens.

I truly believe that we can overcome any hurdle that lies before us and create the life we want to live. I have seen it happen time and time again.

The five stages - denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance - are a part of the framework that makes up our learning to live with the one we lost. They are tools to help us frame and identify what we may be feeling. But they are not stops on some linear timeline in grief.

We live in a world of denial, and we don't know what the truth is anymore.
