Reading the Bible will help you get to know the word, but it's when you put it down and live your life that you get to know the author.
When you're ready to make the change and you don't feel that you have the strength, know that you are connected with the same strength that moves the world; you just have to stop turning your back on it and connect with it.
There is no greater force for change than people inspired to live a better life.
Once your mindset changes, everything on the outside will change along with it.
Free yourself from the inauthenticity and disempowerment of your story.
How would your life be different if … You approached all relationships with authenticity and honesty? Let today be the day … You dedicate yourself to building relationships on the solid foundation of truth and authenticity.
Identify the things and people that make you feel unhappy and eliminate them from your life. Nothing good can come from them.
Religious structure often dilutes the spiritual experience.
A wrong turn doesn't end the journey. If you feel lost, just look at your map and get back on the road. The map will always lead you in the right direction.
What I do for a living is talk. What I do for life is action.
The bank of love is never bankrupt.
How would your life be different if … You stopped focusing on what you didn't want and started focusing on what you do want? Let today be the day … You establish a clear intent, make a plan, and take actions towards your intent.
Every single time you help somebody stand up you are helping humanity rise.
Too much action with too little intent makes for wasteful exertion of energy and the confusion between movement and progress.
When you hold a grudge, you want someone else's sorrow to reflect your level of hurt but the two rarely meet.
You sing the song in your heart and the people it resonates with are going to dance to it.
You did not go through everything you've gone through just to end up in the same place you were when you started.
Seizing the power of now is what will help you propel your life to where you need to be.
Today stretches ahead of you waiting to be shaped. You are the sculptor who gets to do the shaping. What today will be like is up to you.
When you truly embrace your human impermanence you connect with the power you have, and influence you have, over the time you have.
