“Surrender is a gift that you can give yourself. It’s an act of faith. It’s saying that even though I can’t see where this river is flowing, I trust it will take me in the right direction.”

There is nothing else for you to do but to truly love and nourish the emotionally and spiritually starved parts of you that are crying out for your attention. Are you loving all of yourself?

Before you begin your day: Take a moment of silence and meditation, and give yourself permission to have all that you desire.

Our difficulties launch us into new states of consciousness where we are inspired to step out of the reality of our smallest thoughts and step into the limitless freedom of our biggest dreams.

You are designed to reinvent and re-create yourself, over and over again. And, you are here-whether you want to acknowledge it or not; whether you even know it or not-for the evolution of your own soul.

Notice what happens when you choose to embrace rather than reject each feeling that arises within you today.

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.

Compassion is one of the highest states of consciousness that you can choose to assist you in times of enormous pain.

By nature, your soul is soft, gentle, loving and kind. It is forgiving, peaceful, and humble. Confident and comforting in times of despair, your soul is strong, focused, and determined in the mission called life.

For when I can love all of me, I will love all of you.

Once befriended, our shadow becomes a divine map that-when properly read and followed-reconnects us to the life we were meant to live, the people we were meant to be, and the contributions we were meant to give.

Your soul’s desire are with you at birth like a hidden treasure chest of possibilities for you to discover as you grow and evolve into the person you were meant to be. Give voice to what you long for in the deepest place in your heart.

Our persona was not created by accident; it was created in order to camouflage the parts of ourselves we deemed the most undesirable and to overcompensate for what we believe to be our deepest flaws. What persona are you hiding behind?

If you constantly beat yourself up with negative thoughts, you will either beat up on the people around you- verbally, emotionally, or physically- or you will beat up on yourself by destroying some area of your own life.

You must go into the dark in order to bring forth your light.

Now is the time to take back your energy, your power, and your peace.

The unmet need that can get met right now is the need to be whole, to be both your magnificent, divine self and your imperfect, human self.

The one who obey’s God’s instruction for today will develop a keen awareness of His direction for tomorrow.

Keep your head and your heart going in the right direction, and you will not have to worry about your feet.

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

It has yet to be shown by direct biochemical methods, as opposed to the indirect genetic evidence mentioned earlier, that the code is indeed a triplet code.

You can’t expect insights, even the big ones, to make you suddenly understand everything. But I figure: Hey it’s a step in the right direction if they leave you confused in a deeper way.

Exalt your passion by directing and settling it upon an object the due con-templation of whose loveliness may cure perfectly all hurts received from mortal beauty.

I don’t dictate to anyone what to believe and what not to. And I don’t want that to be dictated to me either.

Ultimately, we’ll help the people we discriminate against if we try to understand more about them; genetics will lead to a world where there is a sympathy for the underdog.
