Only love can bring us peace. And the experience of love is a choice we make, a mental decision to see love as the only real purpose and value in any situation.
You need not apologize for being brilliant, talented, gorgeous, rich, or smart.
Every decision you make reflects your evaluation of who you are.
A Course in Miracles tells us that although ‘we think that without the ego, all would be chaos, the opposite is true. Without the ego, all would be love.’
Light is to darkness what love is to fear; in the presence of one the other disappears.
We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world.
Do what you love. Do what makes your heart sing. And never do it for the money. Go to work to spread joy.
We must discover the power of love, the power, the redemptive power of love. And when we discover that we will be able to make of this old world a new world. We will be able to make men better. Love is the only way.
We have before us the glorious opportunity to inject a new dimension of love into the veins of our civilization.
Hate begets hate; violence begets violence; toughness begets a greater toughness. We must meet the forces of hate with the power of love.
If you can’t be a sun, be a star. For it isn’t by size that you win or fail. Be the best of whatever you are.
The first step is the hardest – making a commitment to yourself, for yourself.
You are valuable because you exist. Not because of what you do or what you have done – but simply because you are.
God loves you simply because He has chosen to do so. He loves you when you don’t feel lovely. He loves you when no one else loves you. Others may abandon you, divorce you, and ignore you, but God will love you always. No matter what!
God loves you just the way you are, but he refuses to leave you that way.
If today were your last, would you do what you’re doing? Or would you love more, give more, forgive more? Then do so! Forgive and give as if it were your last opportunity. Love like there’s no tomorrow, and if tomorrow comes, love again.
Children spell love with four letters: T-I-M-E...
Remember, you are special because I made you. And I don’t make mistakes.
At the end of the day people won’t remember what you said or did, they will remember how you made them feel.
The real difficulty is to overcome how you think about yourself.
