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

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.

If we never take a risk, we’ll never know the parts of ourselves that would have emerged if we had.

A miracle is a shift in perception from fear to love.

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

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

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.

I am a perfectionist. This job is a total ego thing in a way. To be a designer and say, ‘This is the way they should dress; this is the way their homes should look; this is the way the world should be.’ But then, that’s the goal: world domination through style.

Power and energy games only exist in a relationship when the ego is at the wheel. When we heal our hearts, we can show up as mature beings in service to love.

Ego is the immediate dictate of human consciousness.

As soon as there was two there was pride.

When you focus on directing your energy away from harm and toward healing, you feed the soul and starve the ego.

I am what I am. I love me! And I don’t mean that egotistically – I love that God has allowed me to take whatever it was that I had and to make something out of it.

Who are you when all of the things that feed your ego fall away.

Point me out the happy man and I will point you out either egotism, selfishness, evil – or else an absolute ignorance.
