It is so incredibly easy to get lost within the drama of everyday life. Suddenly each person who sees the world differently, questions something about our life, or disagrees with us creates an angry fearful reaction. We want nothing more than to teach that person a lesson and nothing less than being in the right.

All We Have is All We Need reminds us that every person we come into contact with and every experience that we have is meant as a cosmic lesson. In our lives, we are both teacher and student, simultaneously. Fighting against these roles and circumstances simply causes more opportunities to deal with these experiences. Thus, the best way to deal with conflict or situations that cause you anxiety and angry is to be open to the lesson and allow awareness to permeate through your being.

Along with discussion of these and other concepts, each chapter of this book contains a several pages of thoughts and questions. These short notes ask the reader to look deeper within themselves, to let go of judgements, and to act with kindness and compassion. The reader is free to choose one thought to focus on per day or to post several of these little gems around his or her home or office. Each reader will likely find several comments that resonate within them and become almost mantra-like.
