“Listen for the instruction, instead of begging for the direction.”

You have to meet people where they are, and sometimes you have to leave them there.

If you are afraid to take a chance, take one anyway. What you don’t do can create the same regrets as the mistakes you make.

If you should encounter angry or unkind actions today, take a deep breath, reach deep within and greet the lack of love with love.

Life will let you get away with something for a while, but sooner or later, you will pay the price. Everything you do in life causes the effects that you experience. When you get the bill, be prepared to pay.

I am the one I have been looking for.

When you don’t show up as who you are, people fall in love with who you’re not. Then when they find out who you are, that’s when they leave.

When your life is working there will be an absence of drama.

You can direct the outcome of any situation you face through the power of thought. Keep your thoughts focused on the best possible outcome for everyone involved and never allow yourself to be pushed where you don’t choose to be.

Each day, focus your attention on what you want. Each day, take one step that will bring you closer to it. ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE! The key is to identify it, claim it for yourself, and believe that you are worthy to have it.

Their issues are not your issues.

Sitting alone, listening to the sound of your breath, the beating of your heart is a reminder that you are sacred and blessed.

Your willingness to look at your darkness is what empowers you to change.

It takes a lot more courage to let something go than it does to hang on to it, trying to make it better. Letting go doesn’t mean ignoring a situation. Letting go means accepting what is, exactly as it is, without fear, resistance, or a struggle for control.

You have a right to your thoughts and feelings. Your feelings are always valid.

Loving yourself has nothing to do with being selfish, self-centered or self-engrossed. It means that you accept yourself for what you are. Loving yourself means that you accept responsibility for your own development, growth and happiness.

Challenges come so we can grow and be prepared for things we are not equipped to handle now.

Chinese thinkers developed strategic thought that placed a premium on victory through psychological advantage and preached the avoidance of direct conflict.

Especially when we are afraid, angry, or confused, we may be tempted to give away bits of our freedom—or, less painfully, somebody else’s freedom—in the quest for direction and order.

Happy will it be if our choice should be directed by a judicious estimate of our true interests, unperplexed and unbiased by considerations not connected with the public good. But this is a thing more ardently to be wished than seriously to be expected.

It was possible, I knew, to live on two planes at once—to have one’s feet planted in reality but pointed in the direction of progress.

Generally, when a leader struggles, the root cause behind the problem is that the leader has leaned too far in one direction and steered off course. Awareness.

One could only damage oneself through the harm one did to others. One could never get directly at oneself.

People are like dice. We throw ourselves in the direction of our own choosing.

Live and direct.
