“Refusal to hope is nothing more than a decision to die.”

What if Jesus was the only normal person who ever lived?

Be grateful simply for being alive. When you are grateful for life, pure and simple, your life becomes one you can be grateful for. That may strike you as circular or even backward logic, but your attitude really does have an effect on how things work out.

Hoping means seeing that the outcome you want is possible and then working for it.

We destroy ourselves when we stop feeling. If you bury your feelings within you, you become a graveyard.

To me, God is an intelligent, loving, conscious energy and why do I say that? Well you need energy to create. You have to have a source. It’s undifferentiated energy which has intelligence or it couldn’t create.

Education is about wisdom and the knowledge of how to love and survive.

Remember that an act of love always benefits at least two people.

You still won’t be perfect, but success isn’t about perfection-it is about authenticity. You are a success if you are being your real, authentic self.

You cannot fail at being yourself. A cat doesn’t try to be a tiger, and you shouldn’t try to be something you aren’t. You are a process, not a product. Your job is to discover what you are and create that creature.

If something controls you in a way that puzzles you, think of it as a mystery. Mysteries are best approached by closing your eyes and mouth to experience darkness and silence.

The words of love you hear, and the life you feel touching your body and soul, then you know you have discovered the great value of misfortune.

We have to create perfection through love

There is no such thing as an incurable disease, only incurable people.

Each day becomes more meaningful, and your life is enhanced when your actions are guided by what inspires you.

Open your mind to all possibilities and believe!

It takes more distress and poison to kill someone who has peace of mind and loves life.

I’m a person that carries everything that happened to me in my past, with me into the future. I refuse to let it make me bitter. I still completely believe in love and I remain open to anything that will happen to me.

I want to write happy poems on new years. But grief doesn’t have timelines, and it refuses to let go of me.

Every champion was once a contender that refused to give up.

I refuse to let what happened to me make me bitter.

He does not refuse sustenance to the one who speaks ill of Him. How then could He refuse sustenance to the one whose soul is over flowing with love for Him?

Something big is going on. I’m talking about a society that refuses to allow injustice just to persist without making our voices heard and without organizing to bring about effective change through our voting system.

Man is not free to refuse to do the thing which gives him more pleasure than any other conceivable action.

Refuse to be disheartened, discouraged, distracted from your goals in life.
