“First one must understand conditioning – only then can we speak of choice”

There’s no alternative to being yourself. Accept it, honour it, value it – and get on with it.

People will ask you the question ‘how is life treating you?’ But my question is ‘how are you treating life?’ On that your happiness rests

You won’t ever build your confidence from a perception of lack. For it grows and evolves from realising who you are and what you already have.

By simple mathematics giving is key to the world you seek to live in. If I take I alone gain. If I give or share then two at least are enriched.

What people say and feel about you when you’ve left a room is precisely your job while you are in it.

We’re merely one tree with various types, shapes and sizes of leaves that all wave differently in the breeze.

The head thinks. The heart knows.

Our abilities and possibilities are at one and the same time very limited and quite infinite dependent on the depth of our relationship to our ‘self’, others and life itself.

Our life stories are at one and the same time reality, fallacy and fantasy.

While being you and truly sharing what you do will bring happiness to others, you won’t find contentment merely trying to keep others happy.

It’s not just a question of doing what you love for a living. It’s about doing what you love with love. Then your life and all be transformed.

Thoughts will lead you in circles. Silence will bring you back to your centre.

On any day – in any given event – you have to believe in yourself and back yourself 100%

If four of you are playing hide and seek you’ll only ever find the other three. For you are already right here. So what on earth is it that you’re looking for? You are the very thing that you seek.

Love is the only answer to every question. It is the only thing that will serve you in every situation. It is the route and the destination. It is medication, liberation and should be at the heart of and expression of your vocation.

Role models are only of limited use. For no-one is as important, potentially powerful and as key in your life and world as you.

When you choose to perceive Love over fear, life begins to flow.

Any woman who chooses to behave like a full human being should be warned that the armies of the status quo will treat her as something of a dirty joke. That’s their natural and first weapon. She will need her sisterhood.

What I think we need to do is infuse everyday and every action with the kind of values we hope will be in the future, with kindness, with nurturing, with dreams, ambition, using your talents, not resorting to violence, other forms of conflict resolution, with humor, with poetry, with music.

Women have two choices: Either she’s a feminist or a masochist.

It is easier to live through someone else than to become complete yourself.

Is a decision made in advance really any kind of choice?

I try never to be governed by fear; that’s how I choose things.

The people who inspire me most are those who are willing to see the world from a loving perspective. People who perceive obstacles as opportunities and problems as spiritual assignments. People who choose love.
