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

In every heart there is an inner room, where we can hold our greatest treasures and our deepest pain.

To the ego mind, surrender means giving up. To the spiritual mind, surrender means giving in and receiving.

If our emotional stability is based on what other people do or do not do, then we have no stability. If our emotional stability is based on love that is changeless and unalterable, then we attain the stability of God.

It takes courage…to endure the sharp pains of self discovery rather than choose to take the dull pain of unconsciousness that would last the rest of our lives.

The meaningful question is never what we did yesterday, but what we have learned from it and are doing today.

Don’t be concerned that things appear to be falling apart: this has to happen in order for something new and wonderful to emerge.

Success means we go to sleep at night knowing that our talents and ablities were used in a way that served others.

Sometimes when we don’t know the answer, it’s time to simply be with the question.

Think of everything you’ve ever experienced that was painful; that’s the meaning of Good Friday. Think of all the ways that love ultimately healed your heart; that’s the meaning of Easter.

With every thought we think, we either summon or block a miracle. It is not our circumstances, then, but rather our thoughts about our circumstances, that determine our power to transform them.

Love and fear represent two different lenses through which to view the world. Which I choose to use will determine what I think I see.

On any given day, in any given moment, something could happen that opens up for you an entirely new path. Be still, be alert, be ready.

No one is any more or any less important than you are.

Love is what we are born with. Fear is what we learn. The spiritual journey is the unlearning of fear and prejudices and the acceptance of love back in our hearts. Love is the essential reality and our purpose on earth.

To be a princess is to play at life. To be a queen is to be a serious player.The purpose of life as a woman is to ascend to the throne and rule with heart.

Our problem is not that we don’t have power, so much as that we tend to not use the power we have.
