No one is in control of your happiness but you; therefore, you have the power to change anything about yourself or your life that you want to change.

Difficult times always create opportunities for you to experience more love in your life.

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.

Passion acts like a magnet that attracts us to its source. We are drawn to people who radiate with passion, who live with passion, who breathe with passion. Your passion is your true power. The more you discover and express your passion for life, the more irresistible you will become to others.

When I look for happiness, I lose it. When I stop looking, and surrender to where I am, I find it.

I believe tears are holy, because they show us that the ice of our heart is melting.

That experience showed me that I-from moment to moment-am the only person in control of my connection to God. It's not that God is deciding to connect with me, depending on whether I had a good day, or did good or bad deeds. It's all up to me. God, the awareness of God, the love of God, the blessings of God-that lively ecstasy-is always there. It's me who separates from God by judging, by indulging in negativity, by criticizing myself, as well as others.
