“Every choice we make contains the energy of either faith or fear, and the outcome of every decision reflects to some extent that faith or fear. This dynamic of choice guarantees that we cannot run away from ourselves or our decisions.”

The love that flows through your heart purifies not only your own spirit, but the love you share with others.

Your spirit is the part of you that seeks meaning and purpose. It’s the part drawn to hope, that will not give in to despair.

While we measure our own success in terms of our personal comfort and security, the universe measures our success by how much we have learned.

Wounds are the means through which we enter the hearts of other people. They are meant to teach us to become compassionate and wise.

Master your responses to external events–don’t attempt to control them.

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.

And anyway, who wears a tiara on a jungle gym?

Every job will demand some sacrifice. The key is to avoid unnecessary sacrifice.

Is prayer your steering wheel or your spare tire?

The Internet is neither good nor bad. It’s neutral – it becomes for each of us exactly what we bring to it.

The tree on the mountain takes whatever the weather brings. If it has any choice at all, it is in putting down roots as deeply as possible.”—Each New Day

I’m not big on faith rules, but if I had to choose one, it would be that every person must choose a faith issue upon which to hang her hat that requires her to change – not somebody else.

To choose one’s victims, to prepare one’s plan minutely, to slake an implacable vengeance, and then to go to bed… There is nothing sweeter in the world.

Instead of sounding pretentious, phony, or repetitive, I’d rather not speak.
