“Living meaningfully is what brings joy.”

It takes courage…to endure the sharp pains of self discovery rather than choose to take the dull pain of unconsciousness that would last the rest of our lives.

The meaningful question is never what we did yesterday, but what we have learned from it and are doing today.

Don’t be concerned that things appear to be falling apart: this has to happen in order for something new and wonderful to emerge.

Success means we go to sleep at night knowing that our talents and ablities were used in a way that served others.

Sometimes when we don’t know the answer, it’s time to simply be with the question.

Think of everything you’ve ever experienced that was painful; that’s the meaning of Good Friday. Think of all the ways that love ultimately healed your heart; that’s the meaning of Easter.

With every thought we think, we either summon or block a miracle. It is not our circumstances, then, but rather our thoughts about our circumstances, that determine our power to transform them.

Love and fear represent two different lenses through which to view the world. Which I choose to use will determine what I think I see.

On any given day, in any given moment, something could happen that opens up for you an entirely new path. Be still, be alert, be ready.

No one is any more or any less important than you are.

Love is what we are born with. Fear is what we learn. The spiritual journey is the unlearning of fear and prejudices and the acceptance of love back in our hearts. Love is the essential reality and our purpose on earth.

To be a princess is to play at life. To be a queen is to be a serious player.The purpose of life as a woman is to ascend to the throne and rule with heart.

Our problem is not that we don’t have power, so much as that we tend to not use the power we have.

Bless more; blame less.

Imagine the most outrageously positive possibility for your life, claim it, and consider it done.

In each of us, there lies a divine connection to a power more powerful than hate or violence. Today is the day to attune to that power and use it on behalf of peace on earth.

It’s extremely important just to keep things positive and happy as much as we can… I think it’s important that singers, actors, or whatever use our voice to spread positive messages as much as we possibly can.

If you’re happy in a dream, does that count?

The search for happiness is one of the chief sources of unhappiness.

While all men seek after happiness, scarcely one in a hundred looks for it from God.

Misery is a choice. I chose happiness.

I’m very happy because I won a lot. I’ve won races and lived in a world that just gave me joy, so I remember it very positively.

A fool dreams of wealth. A wise man dreams of happiness!

Let anyone speak hundreds of things against you, do not resent by giving a bitter reply. If you tolerate such things, you will certainly be happy. If anybody wants any money from you, and you are not inclined to give, do not give. But do not bark at him like a Dog.
