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

Criticism does not make you smarter or better than the one you are criticizing. In fact, the stuff you are critical of in others is the same stuff you don’t like about yourself.

If someone has offended you, insulted you, or disappointed you, let it go! If you are remembering all the ways you have been hurt or forgotten, let it go! Ask yourself, what good does it do for me to hold on to this?

When you make a decision and a commitment to do something good for yourself, it is like dropping a pebble in a pond. It has a rippling effect. The firmer the decision, the stronger the frequency and wider the range of things that will be reached.

When you can tell the story and it doesn’t bring up any pain, you know it is healed.

It is not your duty or responsibility to change the minds of other people. The nature of their thinking is advanced or limited by their experience. In your presence, they have an opportunity to learn about you and, perhaps, to grow.

Just for today, allow yourself to embrace all that you are every moment. Know that you are a vessel of light. Allow yourself to release all doubts about your ability, the mistakes of the past, the fear of the future.

Family is supposed to be our safe haven. Very often, it’s the place where we find the deepest heartache.

Acceptance means that you know, regardless of what happened, that there is something bigger than you at work. It also means you know that you are okay and that you will continue to be okay.

When you’re the strong one, people don’t give you permission to hurt.

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.

Your vote will decide which party controls the United States Senate and the direction of our country.

Free speech gives us the ability to react vigorously with effective arguments and expose the weakness and misdirection of the other side’s claims.

The past is no more and the future is not yet: both are unnecessarily moving in directions which don’t exist.

Stay in the center, and you will be ready to move in any direction.

God is directing your steps. He may not have sent the storm, but He is in control of the storm.

I love directing, I really do. The whole concept of being in control of a presentation, particularly a movie or a show where you’re dealing with actors and crew.

It’s better to hang out with people better than you. Pick out associates whose behavior is better than yours and you’ll drift in that direction.

Go confidently in the direction of your dreams!
