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

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

If our emotional stability is based on what other people do or do not do, then we have no stability. If our emotional stability is based on love that is changeless and unalterable, then we attain the stability of God.

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.

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.

Don’t join an easy crowd; you won’t grow.

When we stop growing, life gives us a challenge to make us grow.

True friendship is a plant of slow growth, and must undergo and withstand the shocks of adversity before it is entitled to appellation.

Mere change is not growth. Growth is the synthesis of change and continuity, and where there is no continuity there is no growth.

Starting and growing a business is as much about the innovation, drive and determination of the people who do it as it is about the product they sell.

Help young people. Help small guys. Because small guys will be big. Young people will have the seeds you bury in their minds, and when they grow up, they will change the world.

No tree, it is said, can grow to heaven unless its roots reach down to hell.

If you want to grow, find a good opportunity. Today, if you want to be a great company, think about what social problem you could solve.
