“Follow your pain as if it were a candle in the night, leading you to a place of decision.”

Live one day at a time. Keep your attention in present time. Have no expectations. Make no judgements. And give up the need to know why things happen as they do. Give it up!

Life was never meant to be safe. It was meant to be lived right to the end.

When your life begins to harm you, know that you have taken a detour from your true path.

To heal illness, begin by restoring balance.

When I look at someone’s face, I look beyond that face and into the cellular memory in my heart that says, ‘Finally you and I have met again. And now we must find out why’.

Seeing and admitting the truth about ourselves, about our role in creating our own problems, and about how we relate to others is vital for healing.

Every single choice we make is either going to enhance the spirit or drain it. Every day, we’re either giving ourselves power or taking it away.

To love yourself, truly love yourself, is to finally discover the essence of personal courage, self-respect, integrity, and self-esteem. These are the qualities of grace that come directly from a soul with stamina.

The moment you come to trust chaos, you see God clearly. Chaos is divine order, versus human order. Change is divine order, versus human order. When the chaos becomes safety to you, then you know you’re seeing God clearly.

Knowing that every single day is so filled with potential – you cannot wait for life to give you anything. You have no right to feel entitled. You are not entitled to anything.

Human reasoning can never answer the mysteries of our lives.

Managing the power of choice, with all it’s creative and spiritual implications, is the essence of the human experience.

You will always receive help within a second of a prayer. To recognize the help, you must see everything in your life from that second on as a part of the answer to your prayer.

By far the strongest poison to the human spirit is the inability to forgive oneself or another person. Forgiveness is no longer an option but a necessity for healing.

Get bored with your past, it’s over!

Never, ever mistreat someone who loves you. Because you’re not entitled to that love.

A million candles have burned themselves out. Still I read on.

A thousand candles can be lighted from the flame of one candle.

Look at how a single candle can both defy and define the darkness.

We are not here to curse the darkness, but to light the candle that can guide us through that darkness to a safe and sane future.

There isn’t enough darkness in all the world to snuff out the light of one little candle.

We will make electricity so cheap that only the rich will burn candles.

What hurts you, blesses you. Darkness is your candle.

How far that little candle throws his beams! So shines a good deed in a weary world.
