“The act of forgiveness is the act of returning to present time. And that’s why when one has become a forgiving person, and has managed to let go of the past, what they’ve really done is they’ve shifted their relationship with time.”

Let me give up the need to know why things happen as they do. I will never know and constant wondering is constant suffering.

Spiritual maturity is measured not by the sophistication of a person’s opinions, but by their genuineness and the courage necessary to express and maintain them.

People know when they’ve betrayed themselves. They are very much aware when they are not honest with themselves. They hear the voice that says, “You shouldn’t have said that” or “You know that’s not right.”

If you betray yourself, you are no different from the people who hurt you. What’s the difference between those people who hurt you and what you are doing to yourself?

Developing personal power includes learning not to negotiate your self-worth for the sake of someone else or sell yourself short for a job.

You cannot change anything in your life with intention alone, which can become a watered-down, occasional hope that you’ll get to tomorrow. Intention without action is useless.

Act on your inner guidance, and give up your need for ‘proof’ that your inner guidance is authentic. The more you ask for proof, the less likely you are to receive any.

Healing requires taking action-it is not a passive event.

Become mindful that remaining in a conflict is a choice.

The spirit for me is the eternal self. And when one incarnates, an aspect comes with that incarnation, that’s called the soul. And together the mind, the emotional body, and the soul form the energy field that lives within this thing called the human body.

We fear our intuitions because we fear the transformational power within our revelations.

Whenever you become empowered, you will be tested.

Your biography becomes your biology. This biography includes the totality of your choices, the things you feed your body – you thoughts, your actions, your food – the thing you feed your life.

This day of your life will never come again.

Your spirit is the part of you that has to believe in something more. It’s the light of you.

It’s easy to get lost in endless speculation. So today, release the need to know why things happen as they do. Instead, ask for the insight to recognize what you’re meant to learn.

Every person I failed to forgive, I became.

My past life is abundantly full of God’s mercy, and, above all sin, stands the forgiving love of the Crucified.

If there are occasions when my grape turned into a raisin and my joy bell lost its resonance, please forgive me. Charge it to my head and not to my heart.

One must learn to forgive and not to hold a hostile, bitter attitude of mind, which offends those about us and prevents us from enjoying ourselves; one must recognize human shortcomings and adjust himself to them rather than to be constantly finding fault with them.

Trump, with his loud and reckless innuendos, was putting my family’s safety at risk. And for this, I’d never forgive him.

People can be more forgiving than you can imagine. But you have to forgive yourself. Let go of what’s bitter and move on.

We cannot simply forgive and forget, nor should we.

We learn our lessons; we get hurt; we want revenge. Then we realize that actually, happiness and forgiving people is the best revenge.
