 The first step in forgiveness is the willingness to forgive. |
| We can always choose to perceive things differently. You can focus on what's wrong in your life, or you can focus on what's right. |
| The only work that will ultimately bring any good to any of us is the work of contributing to the healing of the world. |
| God exists in eternity. The only point where eternity meets time is in the present. The present is the only time there is. |
| The goal of spiritual practice is full recovery, and the only thing you need to recover from is a fractured sense of self. |
| You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure about you. We were born to manifest the glory of God that is within us. |
| Miracles occur naturally as expressions of love. The real miracle is the love that inspires them. In this sense everything that comes from love is a miracle. |
| Personal transformation can and does have global effects. As we go, so goes the world, for the world is us. The revolution that will save the world is ultimately a personal one. |
| We are not held back by the love we didn't receive in the past, but by the love we're not extending in the present. |
| In our natural state, we are glorious beings. In the world of illusion, we are lost and imprisoned, slaves to our appetites and our will to false power. |
| Love is what we were born with. Fear is what we learned here. |
| I deepen my experience of God through prayer, meditation, and forgiveness. |
| If you give your life as a wholehearted response to love, then love will wholeheartedly respond to you. |
| Forgiveness is not always easy. At times, it feels more painful than the wound we suffered, to forgive the one that inflicted it. And yet, there is no peace without forgiveness. |
