Eat foods that make you thrive.
When you know something, really know something, it tends to stand the test of time.
But what happens when you work hard at something unfulfilling? It drains your spirit. It robs you of your life force. You end up depleted, depressed and angry.
What I know for sure is that whatever your situation is right now, you have played a major role in creating it. With every experience, you build your life, thought by thought, choice by choice. And beneath each of those thoughts and choices lies your deepest intention. That’s why before I make any decision, I ask myself one critical question: What is my real intention?
I want to live my life so my aura, when it leaves, is very bright.
Gratitude can transform any situation. It alters your vibration moving you from negative energy to positive.
When you have nothing to be ashamed of, when you know who you are and what you stand for, you stand in wisdom.
At different times in our journeys, if we’re paying attention, we get to sing the song we’re meant to sing in the perfect key of life.
A beard well lathered is half shaven.
You radiate and generate more goodness for yourself; when you’re aware of all you have.
I don’t have any limitations on what I think I could do or be.
If you are not in control of the development of your life, or aware that your life needs developing, and you are just waking up every morning, going to a job, going through the motions, getting your paycheck, then really it’s sort of like being the walking dead.
The energy we put out in the world is the energy we get back. So if you want more love in your life, set your intention to be more loving. If you seek kindness, focus your energy on empathy and compassion. Conversely, if you wonder why there are so many angry people in your life, look no further than the resentment you hold in your own heart.
The old thing when you’re pointing your finger, there’s three fingers pointing back. And so I always tell people that whatever you focus on, you get more of. So if I’m gossiping about someone that I’m judging or being negative about, then I’m actually creating more negativity inside of me, and I’m not focusing on what I want.
You are not your circumstances. You are your possibilities.
Turn your heart toward what is good by cultivating forgiveness and compassion and mindful presence.
So when I feel overwhelmed, I usually go to a quiet place. A bathroom stall works wonders. I close my eyes, turn inward, and breathe until I can sense the still, small space inside me that is the same as the stillness in you, and in the trees, and in all things. I breathe until I can feel this space expand and fill me. And I always end up doing the exact opposite of screaming: I smile at the wonder of it all.
For every dream, there is automatically going to be resistance. But your sheer will and desire can be stronger than the shadow. You get to decide. You get to declare, I want this, and confront the fear head-on.
When you can really be who you are and find out where you fit and function from a place of comfort, then you stop working. You stop wrestling.
Many times we insist on having all the best things because that’s the only way we can ensure “quality of life” for ourselves. I can neglect myself in every other way, but if I have the best watch or pocketbook or car or square footage, I get to tell myself I’m the best and how much I deserve to have even more of the best. What I know for sure: Having the best things is no substitute for having the best life. When you can let go of the desire to acquire, you know you are really on your way.
