Money is not the root of all evil...ignorance is the root of all evil. People do cruel and foolish things for money because they feel oppressed by a sense of lack. If people knew their power to generate wealth, they would never fight or hurt each other over money.

Every day the word 'gift' is used to define talent, ability, and performance. Being gifted has an even deeper meaning, a meaning that isn't always measured in points per game or win/loss records - it's measured by heart, effort, and desire.

You are not a black hole that needs to be filled; you are a light that needs to be shined.

You own what you own not by money or force, but by your love for it and your inner connection to it.

Teach yourself freedom with the same zeal that the world has taught you limits.

The only real knowledge is who you really are - a spiritual being created in the image in the likeness of a loving God. If you know that, everything you do will honor the wisdom and beauty you already own.

Use pain as a stepping stone, not a camp ground.
