The God we've been praying to is deaf to our words and only responds to our actions.
When we focus our attention on things that are either in the past of in the future, it dilutes our experience of right now. Today is the day you can break from that.
Fear comes from a lack of understanding how powerful you really are.
I'm not saying it's wrong to plan for the future. I'm warning not to make today a victim of those plans.
You may think you are a good person hanging out with the wrong crowd, but to someone watching, the difference is not noticeable.
The value of a moment is immeasurable. The power of just ONE moment can propel you to success and happiness or chain you to failure and misery.
My mistakes have been my greatest mentors.
Hiding from your history only shackles you to it. Instead, face it and free yourself.
Scholars, theologians, and even poets have yet to be able to truly describe and touch upon the beauty, romance, and magic of a relationship built on 100% authenticity.
Freedom is more than just a word and a patriotic concept. It is the purest intent of God.
It is when we hurt that we learn.
Regret is a spiritual scar.
It only takes a split second to smile and forget, yet to someone that needed it, it can last a lifetime. We should all smile more often.
It's not about transcending my humanity it's about engulfing myself in it.
If you are not in the now you are nowhere.
Your seed is your initial intent and it flourishes when your actions reflect that intent.
Happiness and success come from living in the present, not from existing in the past.
Nothing is so self-sabotaging as having your actions not reflect your goals. Your life is always just waiting for permission to go where you want it to go ... to be shaped how you want it to be shaped.
When we are judging everything, we are learning nothing.
Don't augment your complaints, augment your actions.
