“By choosing not to allow parts of ourselves to exist, we are forced to expend huge amounts of psychic energy to keep them beneath the surface.”

I grew up very insecure. From the time I was little I used to hide under my mother’s dress.

Truth is the key to unlocking the door to divine confidence. This is a truth that can be felt only when you get out of your head and into your heart. When you’re blind to this truth, you’re left to the limited power of your human will.

All real change requires risk. You must take risks every day of your life. You must get up each morning and ask…: What can I do that is different?

A wise person once wrote, “Resentment is like drinking poison and hoping the other person would die.” But the only one dying is ourselves.

It’s not our job to assess the merit of our vision or judge its importance. It is our job to receive the vision and act upon it.

To ignite your confidence and reclaim your courage, you must step into the highest vision of who you are. The only way to do this is to make the journey back into the arms of the Divine.

Standing in our power demands that we be vulnerable, listen to our own voice, and take risks outside the comfort of what we know.

If we want a new future that does not look like our past, we must make new choices in the present.

Live in the knowledge that you are a gift to the world.

To experience emotional freedom, we must accept, surrender, and let go of our wounds. We must be willing to take responsibility for what we’re holding on to, which is usually a hurt or pain from the past that leaves us feeling victimized.

Fear is the culprit that robs us of our greatest lives. And although it’s mostly made up or a learned behavior from our past, almost everybody I’ve ever met in my life struggles with fear.

Many of us are frightened to look within ourselves, and fear has us put up walls so thick we no longer remember who we really are.

When you begin the process of unhooking from the outer world, you can find literally hundreds of places where you have given your power away and drained your life force while guaranteeing the status quo.

Many of us have read about and talked about forgiveness, and we understand intellectually why it might benefit us to let go of anger toward others. But we hold on anyway.

You are here to deliver a divine gift to the world.

I have a choice: Do I want to align with the GREATEST VISION OF MYSELF or Do I want to align with my EXCUSES?

The choice for mankind lies between freedom and happiness and for the great bulk of mankind, happiness is better.

The basic thing is that the government has no business making that choice for a woman.

For my life, I need to make my own choices.

To succeed, you also have to know how to make choices and how to think more broadly.

Russia does not and cannot have any political choice but democracy.

Politics is the choice between the lesser of two evils.

Our choices affect everyone around us. There is no such thing as “individual risk” or “individual wellness.

The love of books is among the choicest gifts of the gods.
