“The evolution of one’s own soul is a process. It’s not a quick fix. It’s not a five-day workshop. It’s a lifetime process where we let go, discover and then allow for futures to come into existence.”

We can’t fight darkness with darkness. We have to find compassion, and embrace the darkness inside of us in order to understand it and, ultimately, to transcend it.

Compassion allows us to understand that, as citizens of the planet, we’re all in this together and that in order to ensure our survival we must hold and cultivate a new and larger vision of what’s possible for ourselves and for the human race as a whole.

The present moment is the pivotal point of power.

If we want to know what we’re really committed to, all we have to do is look at our lives.

Unforgiveness is the poison you drink every day hoping that the other person will die.

Each aspect within us needs understanding and compassion. If we are unwilling to give it to ourselves how can we expect the world to give it to us?

We are meant to discover our authentic nature-the state of being in which we are inspired by ourselves, turned on, lit up, and excited about who we are.

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?

The greatest act of courage is to be and to ownall of who you are – without apology, without excuses, without masks to cover the truth of who you are.

All of our suffering in life is from saying we want one thing and doing another.

You can’t just say that you’re committed to creating the best year of your life and expect it to stick. You have to make a conscious effort to allow this commitment to become part of your internal belief system.

Why can’t we see everyone and everything as God, as a part of the Divine? It is because we don’t see ourselves this way.

Our pain can be our greatest teacher. It leads us to places we’d never go on our own.

Faith gives us strength and reassurance and leaves us bathed in the wisdom that we are never alone.

We see only that which we are.

When you invoke the agent of change called acceptance, you must accept all that you are, all that you’ve been and all that you will be in the future.
