“Authentic needs are the needs that are always met by the Universe.”

Each moment is a moment of choice ~ a time to leave the old, the limited, the restrained, and the contracted for the new, the unbound, and the liberating potential that expands before you.

If we perceived life with reverence, we would stand in awe at the experience of physical life and walk the earth in a very deep sense of gratitude.

Awareness is a blissful state, not a painful one.

When you seek to dominate another you dominate no one but disempower yourself.

As your temptations become greater, so does your ability to make responsible choices.

You create your reality with your intentions.

You cannot act in love and act in fear at the same time. You must choose between them.

Trust allows you to give. Giving is abundant. As you give so it shall be given to you. If you give with judgment, limitation and stinginess, that is what you will create in your life – judgment, limitation, and stinginess.

Your dragons are the frightened parts of your personality, and you alone can experience and heal them.

Clarity is the ability to see the soul in action in the physical world.

You must distinguish between what is urgent and what is important. You could accomplish all of the urgent things that you desire without accomplishing anything that is important.

Eventually, you will come to understand that love heals everything, and love is all there is.

The commitment to love always transforms, heals, and opens new avenues of creativity.

Humbleness, forgiveness, clarity and love are the dynamics of freedom. They are the foundations of authentic power.

The decisions that you make and the actions that you take upon the earth are the means by which you evolve.

A joyous person abounds with energy and feels buoyant, because he or she is running a higher frequency current of energy through his or her system.

Your devotion to God is illustrated, demonstrated, and authenticated by your love for others.

Without authenticity you are nothing.

It’s possible to be all the parts of you that live in your heart, brain, and body. Not divided into containers. A giant messy wait of authenticity. Where you are all the things. All the time.

I cannot face another moment of inauthenticity. Not one more day. Saying no to the things that make me uncomfortable in my skin.

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?

Humbleness, forgiveness, clarity and love are the dynamics of freedom. They are the foundations of authentic power.

Act on your inner guidance, and give up your need for ‘proof’ that your inner guidance is authentic. The more you ask for proof, the less likely you are to receive any.

The dominant characteristic of an authentic spiritual life is the gratitude that flows from trust — not only for all the gifts that I receive from God, but gratitude for all the suffering. Because in that purifying experience, suffering has often been the shortest path to intimacy with God.
