People don’t usually come see me because things are going well.
The field of quantum possibility, in which love has opened doors otherwise unimaginable, is our soul’s true habitat. The world of fear and limitation is not our home, and who among us is not profoundly weary of hanging out where we do not belong.
If you have a longing in your heart to hear a deeper truth, there’s a mysterious way in which that truth will find you.
Your life has purpose as long as you dedicate it to love. It’s not what we do but who we are that forms our biggest contribution.
Go for greatness. Anything else is a waste of time.
I can’t say that there are “things” that make me come alive. There are thoughts that make me come alive.
There is no single effort more radical in its potential for saving the world than a transformation of the way we raise our children.
Even a happy life has a sad day. We fail to provide a context which says it’s okay to cry, it’s okay to be sad. So I think making the space for suffering is so important and making space for this expression of feelings in community.
I don’t think pain is a prerequisite for growth, but on the other hand, most of us choose very painful ways to learn.
Real intimacy; real love has to do with a joining of the mind, a joining of the spirit, a joining of the heart.
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.
