“Ego says, “Once everything falls into place, I’ll feel peace”. Spirit says, “Find your peace, and then everything will fall into place”.”

Living meaningfully is what brings joy.

Our triumph over sorrow is not that we can avoid it but that we can endure it. And therein lies our hope; that in spirit we might become bigger than the problems we face.

You can live your life out of a circumstance or you can live your life out of a vision.

Every act of kindness on your part is a boost to your own immune system.

Love is the essential reality and our purpose on earth. To be consciously aware of it, to experience love in ourselves and others, is the meaning of life. Meaning does not lie in things. Meaning lies in us.

Until we have met the monsters in ourselves, we keep trying to slay them in the outer world. And we find that we cannot. For all darkness in the world stems from darkness in the heart. And it is there that we must do our work.

We don’t reach the light through endless analysis of the dark. We reach the light by choosing the light.

We were all born carrying a promise — a promise to make the world better — and there’s a yearning to make good on that promise that none of us can suppress forever.

We are not held back by the love we didn’t receive in the past, but by the love we’re not extending in the present.

Once you know that every moment and every person and every situation has something to teach you, you’re a student all day. You know it’s the depth of your observation that is the issue – not how much the world has to show you.

Carrying the past in to the present, we program the future to continue the past. Letting go the past in the present, we free the future to be something else.

Any situation that pushes our buttons is a situation where we don’t yet have the capacity to be unconditionally loving.

Withholding love is a form of self-sabotage, as what we withhold from others we are withholding from ourselves.

Life is a book that never ends. Chapters close, but not the book itself. The end of one physical incarnation is like the end of a chapter, on some level setting up the beginning of another.

We do not heal the past by dwelling there. We heal the past by living in the present.

When a woman rises up in glory, her energy is magnetic and her sense of possibility contagious.

In the music industry, there’s often a lot of egos and people aren’t always very supportive, but we cheer each other on and we push each other to be better.

Don’t let your ego get too close to your position, so that if your position gets shot down, your ego doesn’t go with it.

The perfection preached in the gospels never yet built an empire. Every man of action has a strong dose of egotism, pride, hardness, and cunning.

Spend more time listening to your heart and less time listening to your ego.

To the ego mind, surrender means giving up. To the spiritual mind, surrender means giving in and receiving.

One may understand the cosmos, but never the ego; the self is more distant than any star.

It is your soul’s journey to enroll the ego in the quest for the ultimate victory – the evolution of your own individual consciousness.

If someone corrects you, and you feel offended, then YOU have an EGO problem
