“Those who are certain of the outcome can afford to wait, and wait without anxiety.”

Repeating a new behavior is what makes change stick.

The key to serenity is trusting that the universe has your back.

If you’re stuck in traffic, call a friend or listen to a favorite podcast. If you’re waiting in a long line, make friends with a person in line with you. There are lots of ways we can change the vibe.

All the happiness, self-confidence, and support you’re seeking is already within you.

Putting your well-being first – like putting your oxygen mask on before you help the person next to you – that really benefits all your relationships.

What you believe, you receive.

Resentment creates stress.

When we fulfill our function, which is to truly love ourselves and share love with others, then true happiness sets in.

Most people don’t walk around the tools to process pain and fear, that kind of discomfort. In most cases, it’s unbearable to look at it, feel it, and/or address it. It’s why I’m such a fan of self-help books.

I believe that simple, consistent shifts in our thinking and actions can lead to the miraculous in all aspects of our daily lives, including our relationships, finances, bodies, and self-image.

When we function from a place of positive energy, the world around us becomes more positive.

Much of our anxiety and stress comes when we’re focused on fear and disconnected from the voice of our inner guide.

It is one of the blessings of old friends that you can afford to be stupid with them.

If you act like an adult when you’re a kid you can afford to act like a kid the rest of your life.

This country cannot afford to be materially rich and spiritually poor.

Aggressive fighting for the right is the noblest sport the world affords.

Hopefully, we can learn from the 60s that we cannot afford to do our enemies work by destroying each other.

Guilt is a luxury that we can no longer afford.

A man is rich in proportion to the number of things which he can afford to let alone.
