What you do comes from what you think.
Joy is our goal, our destiny. We cannot know who we are except in joy. Not knowing joy, we do not know ourselves.
When love isn’t in our lives, it’s on the way. If you know that a special guest is coming at five o’clock, do you spend the day messing up the home? Of course not. You prepare. And that is what we should do for love.
Birth is violent, whether it be the birth of a child or the birth of an idea.
The Real You isn’t damaged goods. The Real You is the light of the universe.
Sometimes, when I’m sitting with people who have been stripped of everything and who are naked and authentic and finding themselves for the first time, I am reminded of how good people really are.
There is no greater gift to future generations than that we do the work God has asked us to do: love one another, that the world might be made right.
No matter what’s happening in your life, you can change the trajectory of events by closing your eyes, reviewing your thought and behavior, and sending love wherever you’ve been withholding it.
The key to a successful career is realizing that it’s not separate from the rest of your life, but is rather an extension of your most basic self. And your most basic self is love.
The soul is the truth of who we are.
The world loves us when we choose to love the world.
Today is a day for sober and mature reflection, not glee. Mindless celebration is both spiritually inappropriate and politically naive.
No company or organization filled with unhappy people will ultimately rise to its highest potential.
No matter what is happening now, events will ultimately bend toward love the way a flower bends toward sunlight.
Your life shows up for you when you show up for your life.
The universe is intentional. It is always moving in the direction of greater love, regardless whether or not we consciously align with that love.
Sometimes when everything has totally apart, the meaningless preoccupations that so often dominate our lives simply fall away. And what is left is who we really are, and who we really are is compassionate and intelligent and wise.
Painful experiences are not meant to linger. They are meant to teach us what they need to teach us, and then dissolve.
Your playing small doesn’t serve the world.
Think of everything you’ve ever experienced that was painful; that’s the meaning of Good Friday. Think of all the ways that love ultimately healed your heart; that’s the meaning of Easter.
