“Children are happy because they don’t have a file in their minds called “All the Things That Could Go Wrong.”

We were all born carrying a promise — a promise to make the world better — and there’s a yearning to make good on that promise that none of us can suppress forever.

We are not held back by the love we didn’t receive in the past, but by the love we’re not extending in the present.

Once you know that every moment and every person and every situation has something to teach you, you’re a student all day. You know it’s the depth of your observation that is the issue – not how much the world has to show you.

Carrying the past in to the present, we program the future to continue the past. Letting go the past in the present, we free the future to be something else.

Any situation that pushes our buttons is a situation where we don’t yet have the capacity to be unconditionally loving.

Withholding love is a form of self-sabotage, as what we withhold from others we are withholding from ourselves.

Life is a book that never ends. Chapters close, but not the book itself. The end of one physical incarnation is like the end of a chapter, on some level setting up the beginning of another.

We do not heal the past by dwelling there. We heal the past by living in the present.

When a woman rises up in glory, her energy is magnetic and her sense of possibility contagious.

Thought is cause: experience is effect. If you don’t like the effects in your life, you have to change the nature of your thinking.

Your future isn’t programmed by your past; it’s programmed by your thoughts.

Your character defects are not where you’re bad, but where you’re wounded. But no matter who or what causes the wound, it’s yours now and you’re responsible for it.

Consider the possibility of infinite possibility.

For every person who might reject you if you live your truth, there are ten others who will embrace you and welcome you home.

Forgiveness is the choice to see people as they are now. When we’re mad at people, we’re angry because of something they said or did before this moment. By letting go of the past, we make room for miracles to replace our grievances.

Speak from your mind and people will hear you with their mind. Speak from your heart and people will hear you with their heart.
