Before we can experience the pure & serene state of love, we must learn how to give forgiveness – to ourselves & to others. Have you forgiven yourself?

It is your soul’s journey to enroll the ego in the quest for the ultimate victory – the evolution of your own individual consciousness.

Resentments lodge inside you, causing you to lose touch with your inherent worth, your joy, and – more important – your God-loving heart.

Do not wait another day to become fully engaged in your life, to learn to love and to forgive, and to live with greater purpose & meaning.

I define God as an energy. A spiritual energy. It has no denomination, it has no judgment, it has an energy that when we’re connected to it we know why we’re here and what we’re here to do.

The world mirrors yourself back to you. If you love, nourish, and appreciate yourself internally it will show up in your external life. If you want more love, give more love to yourself. If you want acceptance, accept yourself.

It is only when you’re lying to yourself or hating some aspect of yourself that you’ll get an emotional charge from someone else’s behavior.

When you learn that you can trust life, life will deliver treasures beyond your imagination.

I’ve always felt like the underdog, and I’m comfortable with that label.

Habits are like comfortable beds. They are easy to get into, but difficult to get out of.

Being comfortable with the uncomfortable is the new confidence.

Risk, then, is not just part of life. It is life. The place between your comfort zone and your dream is where life takes place. It’s the high-anxiety zone, but it’s also where you discover who you are.

It is sort of a disease when you consider yourself some kind of god, the creator of everything, but I feel comfortable about it now since I began to live it out.

A person’s success in life can usually be measured by the number of uncomfortable conversations he or she is willing to have.
