“Forgiveness isn’t about letting the other person off the hook – it’s about releasing ourselves.”

If you’re feeling stressed or anxious and you don’t know why, ask yourself: What little thing led me here? Recently, I canceled on a friend because I was tired. I went to bed feeling stressed out, and I realized, I feel bad because I canceled.

Spirit seeker is someone who remembers there is a power greater than themselves and who is willing to reconnect with it.

Get naked with your truth, offering the world your greatest gift: your authentic self.

The more difficult it is to forgive someone the greater the opportunity for spiritual growth.

Stress is actually the number one thing that blocks people from their happiness and well-being and from getting what they want.

The truth is that fear cannot coexist with love. Therefore, we must learn how to dissolve all boundaries with love by taking responsibility for our own energy. In doing so, we’ll raise the energy around us.

Each day when you wake up, say: “What miracles would you have me perform today?” Then listen.

If you stay in that new flow of positive behavior, it’s hard to revert back to old patterns. But if you do fall off, just forgive yourself, recover quickly, and get right back on.

I’ve learned that fear is simply an illusion based on past experiences that we project into the present and onto the future.

You can’t make people be or do what you want. All you can do is be unapologetic about what you want and let others show up however they can.

At some point all lies are brought to the surface and truth comes forth no matter how hard we try to hide it.

The people who inspire me most are those who are willing to see the world from a loving perspective. People who perceive obstacles as opportunities and problems as spiritual assignments. People who choose love.

Trust me when I say: Your commitment to love is crucial in the awakening of the world.

Allow your passion to become your purpose, and it will one day become your profession.

Letting go of control, that’s actually when you’re safe.

My definition of God is the ever-present essence of love.

To love means loving the unlovable. To forgive means pardoning the unpardonable. Faith means believing the unbelievable. Hope means hoping when everything seems hopeless.

The voice of sin is loud, but the voice of forgiveness is louder.

Skeptics always want miracles such as stepping down from the Cross, but never the greater miracle of forgiveness.

Before the sin, Satan assures us that it is of no consequence; after the sin, he persuades us that it is unforgivable.

I’ve been taught that it will be such an extraordinary story if it ends with forgiveness.

A Catholic may sin and sin as badly as anyone else, but no genuine Catholic ever denies he is a sinner. A Catholic wants his sins forgiven – not excused or sublimated.

By far the strongest poison to the human spirit is the inability to forgive oneself or another person. Forgiveness is no longer an option but a necessity for healing.

Weigh the true advantages of forgiveness and resentment to the heart. Then choose.
