When we work with our thinking, then to have great wealth is the same as to have nothing. That's the only freedom.

We've been looking outside us for our own peace. We've been looking in the wrong direction.

The world will be at war as long as the mind is at war with itself.

Everything that happens is God's will. When you realize that, you're home free.

There is no story that is you or that leads to you. Every story leads away from you.

When people are talking about manifesting, we can say, "I want a car, I want a car, I want a car," but if the mind is running, "I don't deserve it, I'll never be able to afford it, I'll never be a success" - if all those things are running - then those things are what we're really manifesting. They are exactly what's running our life. And as long as we believe those thoughts, thinking positively is not strong enough to override our negative beliefs.

An uncomfortable feeling is not an enemy. It's a gift that says, "Get honest; inquire." We reach out for alcohol, or television, or credit cards, so we can focus out there and not have to look at the feeling. And that's as it should be, because in our innocence we haven't known how. So now what we can do is reach out for a paper and a pencil, write thought down, and investigate.
