“You don’t need a new life, just a new lens through which to view the one you have.”

Love isn’t material. It’s energy. We experience it as kindness, giving, mercy, compassion, peace, joy, acceptance, non-judgment, joining and intimacy.

If you want to end darkness you cannot beat it with a baseball bat, you have to turn on a light.

Whatever situation you’re in: Send love, place it in God’s hands, open your heart to everyone involved – and it will turn out miraculously.

The more we allow ourselves to enjoy, the more reasons we find to be joyful.

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.

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

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.

I think everybody has the right to a private life.

Make space in your life for the inevitable arrival of what you want.

Becoming a Christian is the work of a moment; being a Christian is the work of a lifetime.

I spent my whole life helping my mother carry around her psychic trunks like a bitter bellhop. So a great load was lifted when she died, and my life was much easier.

What if the key to unlocking your true authentic power, to opening up your heart deeply to love, to finding the confidence to go after everything you want in your life lies hidden in your shadow?

Before you criticize others, remember, they may not have had the same opportunities in life as you have had

Our humanity comes to its fullest bloom in giving. We become beautiful people when we give whatever we can give: a smile, a handshake, a kiss, an embrace, a word of love, a present, a part of our life…all of our life.

All of our suffering in life is from saying we want one thing and doing another.
