The greatest enemy to fear is truth.
It is your belief that you are being held back that holds you back.
A lack of clarity could put the brakes on any journey to success.
Simplify your life. You don't grow spiritual, you shrink spiritual.
All resistance bears within it the seeds of growth, experience, and wisdom.
You may be keeping a diary of your thoughts but know that, in every religion, the God you believe is keeping a diary of your actions.
Live accordingly ... success isn't something you have, it's something you do.
I've learned that empowered thinking is a choice — a state of mind. It's the ability to enjoy a rose with no mind of the thorn. It's the ability to celebrate a life even though it has passed. It's seeing the flowers even during a rainstorm.
Forgiveness is a reflection of loving yourself enough to move on.
The greatest sermons are the ones given with a closed mouth and an open heart.
In a strong relationship, you should love your companion more than you need them.
There is nothing more dangerous to the shackles of complacency and the warden of fear than philosophy in action.
It's time to stop just talking, it's time to stop just intending, it's time for action; it's time to shut-up and say something!
When you understand the Good Book to be one that isn't necessarily filled with stories to be believed, but instead messages to be received — you free yourself from the burden of previous ignorance and agendas and you allow the activation of living truth within.
Don't let your history interfere with your destiny.
How would your life be different if … You stopped validating your victim mentality? Let today be the day … You shake off your self-defeating drama and embrace your innate ability to recover and achieve.
When intent and action mate, the offspring is success.
Free yourself from the imprisonment of your own limiting beliefs and prejudices.
No matter what your history has been, your destiny is what you create today. What are you going to create?
In this busy world, we should never be a stranger to love and compassion. It is the fertile soil in the garden of peace.
