"Behind your "story" is the real You, and it's full of LOVE. The goodness is right there because what you are is Goodness. You don't have to try to be good; you just need to stop pretending to be what you are not. You are one with God, and it is effortless. God is here, and you can feel the presence of God. Of course, if you don't feel God's presence, you need to detach from the "story" because the only thing between you and God is your "story".
