It is not a question of whether you ‘have what it takes,’ but of whether you take the gifts you have – they are plenteous – and share them with all the world.

There is no truth except the truth that exists within you. Everything else is what someone is telling you.

Life is bendable to our will more than we know. In fact, that’s the deal. If we don’t know that life bends to our will, it will not. So the trick is to know that life is on our side — and but awaits our command.
