“We must risk the journey to a higher ground where there is freedom from the gravitational pull of our stories, the pull that comes from years of trying to prove that the stories we tell ourselves, the ones we’ve made up, are the truth.”

When divine consciousness enters, the shift occurs and you will be engulfed by what will feel like the greatest love imaginable – a love in which your soul realigns with your spirit and they meet together as one.

We can’t fight darkness with darkness. We have to find compassion, and embrace the darkness inside of us in order to understand it and, ultimately, to transcend it.

Compassion allows us to understand that, as citizens of the planet, we’re all in this together and that in order to ensure our survival we must hold and cultivate a new and larger vision of what’s possible for ourselves and for the human race as a whole.

The present moment is the pivotal point of power.

If we want to know what we’re really committed to, all we have to do is look at our lives.

Unforgiveness is the poison you drink every day hoping that the other person will die.

Each aspect within us needs understanding and compassion. If we are unwilling to give it to ourselves how can we expect the world to give it to us?

We are meant to discover our authentic nature-the state of being in which we are inspired by ourselves, turned on, lit up, and excited about who we are.

What if the key to unlocking your true authentic power, to opening up your heart deeply to love, to finding the confidence to go after everything you want in your life lies hidden in your shadow?

The greatest act of courage is to be and to ownall of who you are – without apology, without excuses, without masks to cover the truth of who you are.

All of our suffering in life is from saying we want one thing and doing another.

You can’t just say that you’re committed to creating the best year of your life and expect it to stick. You have to make a conscious effort to allow this commitment to become part of your internal belief system.

Why can’t we see everyone and everything as God, as a part of the Divine? It is because we don’t see ourselves this way.

Our pain can be our greatest teacher. It leads us to places we’d never go on our own.

Faith gives us strength and reassurance and leaves us bathed in the wisdom that we are never alone.

We see only that which we are.
