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

Let’s forgive the past and who we were then. Let’s embrace the present and who we’re capable of becoming. Let’s surrender the future and watch miracles unfold.

Darkness is merely the absence of light, and fear is merely the absence of love. If we want to be rid of fear, we cannot fight it but must replace it with love.

The one good thing about failure is that it makes you consider doing things a different way.

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

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.

You’re living the skyscraper life up high just so your ego can soar high.

I am a perfectionist. This job is a total ego thing in a way. To be a designer and say, ‘This is the way they should dress; this is the way their homes should look; this is the way the world should be.’ But then, that’s the goal: world domination through style.

Power and energy games only exist in a relationship when the ego is at the wheel. When we heal our hearts, we can show up as mature beings in service to love.

Ego is the immediate dictate of human consciousness.

As soon as there was two there was pride.

When you focus on directing your energy away from harm and toward healing, you feed the soul and starve the ego.

I am what I am. I love me! And I don’t mean that egotistically – I love that God has allowed me to take whatever it was that I had and to make something out of it.

Who are you when all of the things that feed your ego fall away.
