“We don’t reach the light through endless analysis of the dark. We reach the light by choosing the light.”

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.

Bless more; blame less.

Imagine the most outrageously positive possibility for your life, claim it, and consider it done.

People have asked me why I chose to be a dancer. I did not choose. I was chosen to be a dancer, and with that, you live all your life.

We cannot control necessity, though we often persuade ourselves that certain things are our choice, when in truth we have been unavoidably impelled to them.

We are all born to die – the difference is the intensity with which we choose to live.

Choices will continually be necessary and — let us not forget — possible. Obedience to God is always possible. It is a deadly error to fall into the notion that when feelings are extremely strong we can do nothing but act on them.

Life without limbs? Or life without limits?

For if good were not praised more than ill, None would choose goodness of his own free will.

Fear wins or Freedom wins, and I choose Freedom.

We eventually learn that emotional closure is our own action. We can be responsible for it. In any moment, we can choose to open or to close.
