“You let go of the past, and stop bringing the past into the present and replaying it into the future. You release guilt, shame, and you can create an entirely new pattern for yourself.”

The key to serenity is trusting that the universe has your back.

If you’re stuck in traffic, call a friend or listen to a favorite podcast. If you’re waiting in a long line, make friends with a person in line with you. There are lots of ways we can change the vibe.

All the happiness, self-confidence, and support you’re seeking is already within you.

Putting your well-being first – like putting your oxygen mask on before you help the person next to you – that really benefits all your relationships.

What you believe, you receive.

Resentment creates stress.

When we fulfill our function, which is to truly love ourselves and share love with others, then true happiness sets in.

The great paradox is that our lack of faith in love and miracles is what blocks us from receiving love and miracles.

The simple intention to surrender control is all you need to experience miracles.

Any show that’s bringing in a young audience is doing a good thing, because that’s the only way that theater will continue to grow.

I think Barack Obama has the overall right strategy and he’s been right to resist bringing in massive numbers of American troops.

Even if misfortune is only good for bringing a fool to his senses, it would still be just to deem it good for something.

So most people don’t have the courage to admit there’s no God and they know it. They feel it. They try to suppress it. And if you bring it up they get angry because it freaks them out.
