No one is longing to meet a desperate needy, angry, withholding, controlling person. If your beloved is out there they can’t pick up your signals if you’re dwelling in those spaces within yourself.
Once you reach a certain age, you’re either slowly dying or slowly being reborn. I want to choose the latter.
When we’re in our right minds, we are hopeful. Because the arc of the moral universe does bend toward justice, nature does bend toward healing, and the heart does bend toward love.
The only thing missing in any situation is that in which you are not giving.
Some people think it’s naive to think we can make love our new bottom line. What I believe is naive is thinking human civilization as we know it will survive another two hundred years if we do not.
A lot of us simply disengaged from politics altogether, but then we woke up and went wow, wait a minute. Why does that insane conversation get to dominate? Who made those people the creators of the conversation? And how can we start a new one?
The biggest problem is our lack of “response-ability.” That’s what happens when money rather than love is the bottom line. People act like idiots.
We need more than new policies. We need a new worldview, and a new bottom line. We need to replace economic values as our ordering principle, with humanitarian values as our ordering principle.
Each time we consider a miracle impossible, or assume that we ourselves are not capable of working it, then we’re choosing not to take flight...
Think of your career as your ministry. Make your work an expression of love in service to mankind.
We were born to make manifest the glory of God within us.
It’s not just in some of us; it’s in everyone.
You can live in your total potential creative capacity in an instant-with your heart open to give and receive love.
The miracle-minded perception would be to make happiness itself our goal and to relinquish the thought that we know what that would look like.
The real axis of social change is not horizontal, but vertical. We don’t need a whole bunch of people gathering to think shallow thoughts together. What we need is for as many people as are ready to gather and think deep thoughts together.
The universe is wired to give us what we need, yet we have to show up for the experience of life with a positive attitude in order to experience its gifts.
Yes, we see that there are problems in the world. But we believe in a universal force that, when activated by the human heart, has the power to make all things right.
You are a child of God.
Actually, who are you not to be?
The outer kingdom is not our real home. The inner kingdom is our everything.
