Bad habits fill needs, so find good alternatives for them.
The difference between success and failure isn’t the absence of fear but the determination to pursue your heart’s desires no matter how scared you are.
The only way to the Place beyond Fear is to do the thing you fear most. This is how to surrender to your best destiny.
What would you do if you knew that every good thing in your life depended on your getting enough rest? Because it does.
The repercussions of one person living in stubborn gladness are incalculable.
It seems to me at this moment that laughing is a serious thing, that it connects us with truth and love and God.
When you do the thing you fear, the thing loses its power to scare.
When you’re weary, find relief. When you’re strong, find delight.
Feel about yourself what you would have others feel about themselves.
Everything always passes, and everything is already okay. Stay in the place where you can see that, and nothing will resist you.
Pain is like a life coach in your body. It’s what made me a life coach because I started paying a lot of attention to what made me hurt and what didn’t. It turned out my body was trying to steer me away from a life that was absolutely wrong for me and into a life that was absolutely wonderful.

The important thing is to tell yourself a life story in which you, the hero, are primarily a problem solver rather than a helpless victim. This is well within your power, whatever fate might have dealt you.
The only map of your right life is written on your soul at its most peaceful, and the only sure compass is your heart at its most open.
Own your failure openly, publicly, with genuine regret but absolutely no shame, and you’ll reap a harvest of forgiveness, trust, respect, and connection-the things you thought you’d get by succeeding. Ironic, isn’t it?
Take off your watch: the divine is speaking to you.
We can’t save ourselves from fear by seeking safety, because safety always means there’s something to be safe from-in other words, something to fear. The way out of fear isn’t safety. It’s freedom.
Remember that it’s okay to ask for help when you’re stumped, because sometimes you really can’t be expected to handle everything alone.
Good fortune has side effects.
Whenever you go somewhere that speaks to your soul, you are going home to yourself.
