“My view of addiction, whether it’s drugs, food, alcohol or any list of other things, is the same reason I asked my mother why I wasn’t a drug addict or alcoholic, which is because when you’re not loved.”

You can’t control the world, but when you control your thoughts, you bring order.

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!
