What emerges from the silence is the deafening sound of an old world disintegrating.
As we let our light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence actually liberates others.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
I am a glorious child of God. I am joyful, serene, positive, and loving.
There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do.
It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.
Darkness is merely the absence of light, and fear is merely the absence of love. If we want to be rid of fear, we cannot fight it but must replace it with love.
You playing small doesn’t serve the world. There’s nothing enlightening about shrinking so others won’t feel insecure around you. As you let your own light shine, you indirectly give others permission to do the same.
The past doesn’t determine your future unless you carry it with you into the present. Forgiving yourself and others, you free the universe to begin again at any moment.
Children are one of the greatest lessons in happiness, constantly challenging us to enjoy the moment, as the next one will not be the same.
The implication was that if you had any skepticism whatsoever, you were anti-science. I think there’s a difference between having skepticism about science and having skepticism about the pharmaceutical industry.
We’re often afraid of looking at our shadow because we want to avoid the shame or embarrassment that comes along with admitting mistakes.
The only thing we have to give to the world is our own grasp on it.
Hatred is the spiritual malignancy of our species, and like any other form of cancer, does its most terrible work not outwardly, but from within us.
Do what you love. Do what makes your heart sing. And never do it for the money. Go to work to spread joy.
It takes great courage and personal strength to hold on to our center during times of great hurt. It takes wisdom to understand that our reactiveness only fans the flames of false drama.
Achievement doesn’t come from what we do, but from who we are. Our worldly power results from our personal power. Our career is an extension of our personality.
Where there is lack, God’s abundance is on the way. Hold on. Have faith. It’s coming.
As long as we remain vigilant at building our internal abundance – an abundance of integrity, an abundance of forgiveness, an abundance of service, an abundance of love – then external lack is bound to be temporary.
Fear comes, but fear passes.
Since our peace lies in loving as God loves, we must strive to love everyone. The only love that completes us is the love of God, and the love of God is the love of everyone.
