“If you admire greatness in another human being, it is your own greatness you are seeing.”

We and we alone have the power to change our lives, and we can choose to do so at any moment.

The shadow is not a problem to be solved or an enemy to be conquered, but a fertile field to be cultivated. When we dig our hands into its rich soil we will discover the potent seeds of the people we most desire to be.

We each need to become our own hero.

Our society nurtures the illusion that all the rewards go to the people who are perfect. But many of us are finding out that trying to be perfect is costly.

When you are in harmonywith yourself, you’ll be in harmony with everyone else.

Your life will be transformed when you make peace with your shadow.

We are all stronger than we can ever imagine being. Every choice matters starting with today. And today, I choose to live.

Every important choice we make is being guided by one of two places: either it is an act of faith or it is an act of fear. Faith opens the door to a new future.

Like the lotus flower that is born out of mud, we must honor the darkest parts of ourselves and the most painful of our life’s experiences, because they are what allow us to birth our most beautiful self.

In order to access a warrior’s courage, we must explore why we are so committed to our story and what we are afraid will happen if we give it up.

Emotional turmoil can be a powerful catalyst to reconnect us with our divine nature. It propels us into a journey of self discovery and urges us to learn how to love and accept our entire being.

Being present means being completely aware of all that is. It means you’re not in denial, you’re not pretending, and you’re not avoiding.

Before we can experience the pure & serene state of love, we must learn how to give forgiveness – to ourselves & to others. Have you forgiven yourself?

It is your soul’s journey to enroll the ego in the quest for the ultimate victory – the evolution of your own individual consciousness.

Resentments lodge inside you, causing you to lose touch with your inherent worth, your joy, and – more important – your God-loving heart.

Do not wait another day to become fully engaged in your life, to learn to love and to forgive, and to live with greater purpose & meaning.

I have a lot of admiration for people who’ve been in relationships a long time, married for years.

The world is conditioned to admire flowers. Keep watering your roots.

Example has more followers than reason. We unconsciously imitate what pleases us, and approximate to the characters we most admire.

So what if you end up buying a size 6 instead of a 4? You can always cut out the label at home, and you’ll pretty soon forget whatever that number was because you’ll be too busy admiring how fantastic you look.

Instead of worrying about what people say of you, why not spend time trying to accomplish something they will admire.

The sun touched your skin with innocent delicacy as if you were a work of out that was made to be admired deeply.

Golden bracelets, diamonds and rare blue pearls. New gadgets and sparkling shoes, Things I do not own left languishing in the wooden drawer I do not have. I am too busy walking in parks admiring the city from afar and mesmerising dancing trees.

I used to admire people who spoke their mind. Now I admire people who speak their heart.
