“When you arise in the morning, think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive—to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love—then make that day count!”

The more I understand the mind and the human experience, the more I begin to suspect there is no such thing as unhappiness; there is only ungratefulness.

Happiness is not the absence of problems, it’s the ability to deal with them.

In your own life it’s important to know how spectacular you are.

Most haters are stuck in a poisonous mental prison of jealousy and self-doubt that blinds them to their own potentiality.

It only takes a split second to smile and forget, yet to someone that needed it, it can last a lifetime.

You didn’t just cheat on me; you cheated on us. You didn’t just break my heart; you broke our future.

It is important that we forgive ourselves for making mistakes. We need to learn from our errors and move on.

If people refuse to look at you in a new light and they can only see you for what you were, only see you for the mistakes you’ve made, if they don’t realize that you are not your mistakes, then they have to go.

A kind gesture can reach a wound that only compassion can heal.

The problem that we have with a victim mentality is that we forget to see the blessings of the day. Because of this, our spirit is poisoned instead of nourished.

Love yourself. Forgive yourself. Be true to yourself. How you treat yourself sets the standard for how others will treat you.

Incredible change happens in your life when you decide to take control of what you do have power over instead of craving control over what you don’t.

Love has no limitations. It cannot be measured. It has no boundaries. Although many have tried, love is indefinable.

When we are judging everything, we are learning nothing.

Don’t confuse poor decision-making with destiny. Own your mistakes. It’s ok; we all make them. Learn from them so they can empower you!

“I want to be in a relationship where you telling me you love me is just a ceremonious validation of what you already show me.

Should you find the most convenient way of breathing, it will not make you feel more alive.

I am mystic bones and a curious heart. Pain and joy and stardust skin. A sacred soul container. Time and space and matter and illusion. Expansion and contraction. A breathing universe.

The moment we take our last breath on earth, we take our first in heaven.

When you’re feeling exhausted and completely out of breath, turn and fall into his arms and you will find your rest.

How mundane it is for us to realize that we are all breathing under the same sky.

CO2 is the exhaling breath of our civilization, literally… Changing that pattern requires a scope, a scale, a speed of change that is beyond what we have done in the past.

Prayer shouldn’t be casual or sporadic, dictated only by the needs of the moment. Prayer should be as much a part of our lives as breathing.

In the end, it all comes down to the art of breathing.
