“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.”

Once the light of our awareness is cast on any darkness, then it cannot hide and it cannot remain. Such is the law of consciousness.

The reason so many of us are obsessed with becoming stars is because we are not yet starring in our own lives. The cosmic spotlight isn’t pointed at you, it radiates from within you.

The choice to be used as an instrument of love, right here, right now, is a choice for personal empowerment.

Behind every dark cloud there is an every-shining sun. Just wait. In time, the cloud will pass.

Spiritual growth involves giving up the stories of your past so the universe can write a new one.

The more room you give yourself to express your true thoughts and feelings, the more room there is for your wisdom to emerge.

The key to abundance is meeting limited circumstances with unlimited thoughts.

A relationship is more of an assignment than a choice. We can walk away from the assignment, but we cannot walk away from the lessons it presents. We stay with a relationship until a lesson is learned, or we simply learn it another way.

Forgiveness is the key to inner peace because it is the mental technique by which our thoughts are transformed from fear to love.

No matter what the problem, a miracle can solve it. Remember to ask for one.

May we not succumb to thoughts of violence and revenge today, but rather to thoughts of mercy and compassion. We are to love our enemies that they might be returned to their right minds.

Let’s forgive the past and who we were then. Let’s embrace the present and who we’re capable of becoming. Let’s surrender the future and watch miracles unfold.

Darkness is merely the absence of light, and fear is merely the absence of love. If we want to be rid of fear, we cannot fight it but must replace it with love.

The one good thing about failure is that it makes you consider doing things a different way.

In every heart there is an inner room, where we can hold our greatest treasures and our deepest pain.

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

Experience teaches acceptance of the imperfect as life.

Experience is the thing of supreme value.

Life is not just the passing of time. Life is the collection of experiences and their intensity.

Wisdom is the daughter of experience.

For me, there are two types of people: the young and the experienced.

Live life fully while you’re here. Experience everything. Take care of yourself and your friends. Have fun, be crazy, be weird.

Accept a loss as a learning experience, and never point fingers at your teammates.

No matter what one does, regardless of failure or success, the experience is a form of success in itself.
