“Gratitude is like a magnet; the more grateful you are, the more you will receive to be grateful for.”

Just for today, allow yourself to embrace all that you are every moment. Know that you are a vessel of light. Allow yourself to release all doubts about your ability, the mistakes of the past, the fear of the future.

Family is supposed to be our safe haven. Very often, it’s the place where we find the deepest heartache.

Acceptance means that you know, regardless of what happened, that there is something bigger than you at work. It also means you know that you are okay and that you will continue to be okay.

When you’re the strong one, people don’t give you permission to hurt.

You have to meet people where they are, and sometimes you have to leave them there.

If you are afraid to take a chance, take one anyway. What you don’t do can create the same regrets as the mistakes you make.

If you should encounter angry or unkind actions today, take a deep breath, reach deep within and greet the lack of love with love.

Life will let you get away with something for a while, but sooner or later, you will pay the price. Everything you do in life causes the effects that you experience. When you get the bill, be prepared to pay.

I am the one I have been looking for.

When you don’t show up as who you are, people fall in love with who you’re not. Then when they find out who you are, that’s when they leave.

Listen for the instruction, instead of begging for the direction.

When your life is working there will be an absence of drama.

You can direct the outcome of any situation you face through the power of thought. Keep your thoughts focused on the best possible outcome for everyone involved and never allow yourself to be pushed where you don’t choose to be.

Each day, focus your attention on what you want. Each day, take one step that will bring you closer to it. ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE! The key is to identify it, claim it for yourself, and believe that you are worthy to have it.

Their issues are not your issues.

Sitting alone, listening to the sound of your breath, the beating of your heart is a reminder that you are sacred and blessed.

My true gods are my parents. I am what I am because of them.

When I started counting my blessings, my whole life turned around.

Wake up and realize this is all made up of thoughts, just thoughts. Your appreciation of beauty is a thought; your aversion to an object that is ugly is a thought. Your craving or aversion is nothing but a passing thought in the mind. Realize this is just a thought and you will be free.

I sometimes lament the fact that I do not have the benefit of a complete and ailment free body structure.

Gratitude takes nothing for granted, is never unresponsive, is constantly awakening to new wonder.

Wake up and realize this is all made up of thoughts, just thoughts. Your appreciation of beauty is a thought; your aversion to an object that is ugly is a thought. Your craving or aversion is nothing but a passing thought in the mind. Realize this is just a thought and you will be free.

God doesn’t always give us all that we want. But he gives us something that is good for us.

Love is preserved by wisdom. Destroyed by demand, tested by doubt, nourished by longing. It blossoms with faith and grows with gratitude.
