“If our wholeness is interrupted, then our health suffers, and we need to find a way to restore our sense of meaning. When we move in the direction of that meaning, we’re healing.”

When we hate people who hurt us, we come to resemble what we hate, or worse, and then we suffer all the more. What is evil is our response. We have choices, and love is the most powerful eliminator of all.

When you accept that you are not in charge of everything, you can begin to work with the one who really is in charge. This has been my experience; when I accepted that I was not in charge and started to work with someone else’s plan, the Boss showed up.

Act as if you are the person you want to be.

Miracles and angels are a part of our lives, so anticipate them and tune in through your quiet mind.

For me, a lovely day is any day I wake up.

Money, financial matters were to help people, to help them survive, not to have a bigger house or a bigger car and that sort of thing, because I hear that from so many kids, they often don’t know why their father won’t spend more time with them.

Now we are a team and I have less to be concerned about. He organizes my schedule. I just follow it, and when He is taking a day off my wife steps in.

To me, animal communication seemed an insane idea, years ago; but my experience altered my life and my beliefs.

Love releases incredible energy that promotes the biochemistry of healing.

I see people who die a few minutes after a doctor tells them there is no hope of a cure. They give up and go. Others get angry and find joy in proving the doctor wrong. Something within them is challenged and hopeful. Hope is the divine motivator.

It’s hard to carry a child around with you, but fortunately, in most cases, you don’t have to ask a child for directions if you have a well-chosen role model ready to guide you. This is the next prescription:

I’m sure as an infant, no matter what I looked like, I felt like the most loved kid getting those massages. So I really think that was a big part of my growing and my brain developing.

When you love the unlovable and forgive the unforgivable, you’re free.

You too are a work of art.

You’ll see that love improves your vision and allows you to see more than your eye has ever seen before. But be forewarned:

What a shame to be so afraid of failure that you stop living. My wife has a great one-liner about failure: “Never consider yourself a failure-you can always serve as a bad example.” She is right. Failure can be a better teacher than success.

I seem forsaken and alone, / I hear the lion roar; / And every door is shut but one, / And that is Mercy’s door.

I was quite emotional when I finished my lap, but had to wait for other drivers to cross the line to hear whether I’d actually done it.

Light travels faster than sound. This is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.
