No one betrays us as much in our lives as we betray ourselves.
Happiness is not an acquisition – it is a skill. We do not experience happiness because of what we get. We experience happiness because of how we live each moment.
Love is the magician of the universe. It creates everything out of nothing.
All addictions have one thing in common – they numb you out to what is happening in the moment.
If you let your mind talk you out of things that aren’t logical, you’re going to have a very boring life. Because grace isn’t logical. Love isn’t logical. Miracles aren’t logical.
If you don’t develop your skill at enjoying what you have, you won’t be any happier when you get more.
When I look for happiness, I lose it. When I stop looking, and surrender to where I am, I find it.
They’re basically moments in which you’re in touch with the meaning of life, when your relationship to the rest of the universe makes sense.
Passion begins where your bodies unite and ends where your souls dance. When your spirits can join together at the same time as your bodies become one, then all of you will be making love. There will be nothing left between you that is not love. This is sacred communion. This is ecstasy.
Temporary feelings of regret are a normal part of the mourning process. This helps us retrieve our lost dreams. If we hold on to regret, we risk trapping ourselves in a prison of unrealized dreams from which it is difficult to escape.
One of the most courageous things we do is change. If everyone says you’re wonderful every time you wear a red dress, and you change to yellow, that takes courage.
When you live with constant gratitude, your life will become a living prayer.
Love and kindness are never wasted.
If you look around you at the physical universe, you will see that it’s nature is growth. Everything from the cells in your body to the planets orbiting the sun are constantly growing, constantly changing, constantly evolving. Nothing stays still. Nothing remains the same. So think about it – why would your life be the exception? Why would you be the only thing that exists in all of creation whose purpose isn’t to grow?
There is nothing wrong with you... Life isn’t supposed to be easy... It is designed to be challenging so that you will grow into a more conscious, loving human being.
Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony.” – Mahatma Gandhi.
Mostly, however, I am a mystic. A mystic is someone who understands, contacts, and maps the invisible roads inside of us. Since I was a child, I’ve always felt as comfortable navigating these inner highways as I have moving on the external plane of existence. It seems that I show up in people’s lives when they’re ready to cross a threshold into more consciousness, healing, and awakening.
If you bring forth what is within you, what you bring forth will save you. If you do not bring forth what is within you, what you do not bring forth will destroy you.” – Gospel of Thomas.
We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.” – Attributed to Aristotle.
The happiness of most people we know is not ruined by great catastrophes or fatal errors, but by the repetition of slowly destructive little things.” – Ernest Dimnet.
It is not the easy or convenient life for which I search, but life lived to the edge of all that I may be.” – Mary Anne Radmacher.
