I cannot take you out and say you are separate from the whole. If someone says to me, "Well, how do I find my life purpose?" I first say, "You've never lost your life purpose." Number two, I say, "Have no judgments about your life. No expectations. Give up the need to know what happens tomorrow. Just be fully present and appreciate all that is in your life right now."

You never really know how or when your life is going to change, and that's for the best.

Developing personal power includes learning not to negotiate your self-worth for the sake of someone else or sell yourself short for a job.

Be consistent and live what you believe

I'm working on forgiving myself for some not-so-hot choices I've made in my life. I neglected two people I loved dearly. They are both dead now and I obviously can do nothing to repair or change that, and I grieve every day for those choices. That grief can be paralyzing, but it has made me understand the pain of holding on to unfinished business. In my case, I had put work first. I will never do that again. Having made that choice, I find the grief in my heart finally abating. Now I teach the need to forgive yourself and others relentlessly.

People define their life by what they want versus what they have. People get fixated on something and they have to have it, even though that voice inside tells them it's not meant for them.

That which serves our spirits enhances our bodies. That which diminishes our spirits diminishes our bodies.
