As you transform yourself, you transform the world.

Love is not a matter of getting connected. It is a matter of seeing that we already ARE connected within an intricate web of relationships that extends throughout all life. It is a realization of 'no boundary' -- that we are all made of the same stuff, riding through time on the same spaceship, faced with the same problems in the world, the same hopes and fears. It is a connection at the core, that makes irrelevant skin color, age, sex, looks or money.

Like a garden that is carefully tended, the rewards are well worth the effort.

Obstacles do not appear in your way in order to stop you. Rather, they appear in order to strengthen and hone you and your plans. They are not your enemy. They are your secret ally, but only if you treat them as friendly forces of nature.

Human consciousness is now being drawn inexorably toward the same issues, the gaze of collective attention focused like never before.

As you transform yourself, you transform the world.

We either get success or lessons. If we learn our lessons successfully, we get both.
