The immediate result of your infinite patience is peace
See the light in others, and treat them as if that is all you see.
When given the choice between being right or being kind, choose kind
Transformation literally means going beyond your form.
You cannot be lonely if you like the person you’re with.
By giving children lots of affection you can help fill them with love and acceptance of themselves. Then that’s what they will have to give away.
As long as I continue to hear “normal” people telling me I am too childish I know I’m doing just fine.
Each person on this planet is inherently intrinsically capable of attaining “dizzying heights” of happiness and fulfillment.
The child in you like all children loves to laugh to be around people who can laugh at themselves and life. Children instinctively know that the more laughter we have in our lives the better.
The more I give myself permission to live in the moment and enjoy it without feeling guilty or judgmental about any other time the better I feel about the quality of my work.
Now is all we have. Everything that has ever happened to you and anything that is ever going to happen to you is just a thought.
Doing what you love is the cornerstone of having abundance in your life.
Find joy and solace in the simple, and cultivate your utopia by feeling the Tao in every cubic inch of space.
You aren’t your work, your accomplishments, your possessions, your home, your family… your anything. You’re a creation of your Source, dressed in a physical human body intended to experience and enjoy life on Earth.
A mind at peace, a mind centered and not focused on harming others, is stronger than any physical force in the universe.
Everything in the universe has a purpose. Indeed, the invisible intelligence that flows through everything in a purposeful fashion is also flowing through you.
There is not a separate God for each person. There is one universal intelligence flowing through all of us.
Deficiency motivation doesn’t work. It will lead to a life-long pursuit of try to fix me. Learn to appreciate what you have and where and who you are.
Live one day at a time emphasizing ethics rather than rules.
Judgements prevent us from seeing the good that lies beyond appearances.
If life is a checker game, someone else is moving the pieces. It isn’t us. Don’t be surprised by amazing coincidences. There are no accidents. Consider, as I learned to do, the incredible interconnectedness of all of life.
It is impossible for you to be angry and laugh at the same time. Anger and laughter are mutually exclusive and you have the power to choose either.
When you face a ‘performance’ that might provoke the ‘I’m scared’ response, choose love and approach your opportunity as a chance to dance with God. It’s more fun than ‘Dancing with the Stars!’
You can either be a host to God, or a hostage to your ego. It’s your call.
The essential lesson I’ve learned in life is to just be yourself. Treasure the magnificent being that you are and recognize first and foremost you’re not here as a human being only. You’re a spiritual being having a human experience.
What comes out when life squeezes you? When someone hurts or offends you? If anger, pain and fear come out of you, it’s because that’s what’s inside.
The components of anxiety, stress, fear, and anger do not exist independently of you in the world. They simply do not exist in the physical world, even though we talk about them as if they do.
The truth is that there is no actual stress or anxiety in the world; it’s your thoughts that create these false beliefs. You can’t package stress, touch it, or see it. There are only people engaged in stressful thinking.
A great hallmark of mental wellness is the ability to be in the present moment, fully and with no thoughts of being elsewhere.
Faith is the complete reliance on the power and goodness of Spirit and the firm belief that you are always connected to this goodness. Always affirm your faith and not your doubt.
Trust and value your own divinity as well as your connection to nature. Seeing God’s work everywhere will be your reward.
Never, and I mean never, allow anyone else’s ideas of who you can or can’t become sully your dream or pollute your imagination. This is your territory, and a ‘Keep Out’ sign is a great thing to erect at all entrances to your imagination.
Be miserable. Or motivate yourself. Whatever has to be done, it’s always your choice.
Real magic in relationships means an absence of judgment of others.
Successful people make money. It’s not that people who make money become successful, but that successful people attract money. They bring success to what they do.
Having a mind that is open to everything and attached to nothing seems to me to be one of the most basic principles that you can adopt to contribute to individual and world peace.
You do indeed have a past, but not now! And, yes, you have a future, but not now! You can consume your now with thoughts of ‘then’ and ‘maybe,’ but that will keep you from the inner peace you could experience.
If you want to be a voice for peace in the world, begin by making peace a permanent condition of your own life.
Remind yourself that the greatest technique for bringing peace into your life is to always choose being kind when you have a choice between being right or being kind.
What we think determines what happens to us, so if we want to change our lives, we need to stretch our minds.
How people treat you is their karma how you react is yours.
There’s nothing wrong with anger provided you use it constructively.
If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.
Freedom means you are unobstructed in living your life as you choose. Anything less is a form of slavery.
Stop acting as if life is a rehearsal. Live this day as if it were your last. The past is over and gone. The future is not guaranteed.
