Let me give up the need to know why things happen as they do. I will never know and constant wondering is constant suffering.

Expectations are usually predicated on the idea that the everyday things that happen to ordinary people shouldn't happen to you. People hold the idea of being ordinary in absolute contempt, so when they face an illness, poverty, or any kind of catastrophe, they say, 'I can't believe this happened to me.' And who did you think it was going to happen to - the woman across the street?

It doesn't matter what you choose, what matters is the energy with which you choose it.

God, or a source of divinity, put together a map for our lives. That map includes opportunities-not outcomes-but opportunities. And those opportunities are contracts [or] agreements-not that our ego or personality made, but our soul did.

You change the rules or you are going under.

You know an action is the correct one for you because you don't think, "This is costing me my power." I can be tired after a day's work at the right job, but I'm not psychically drained to where I feel like I'm losing life.

Knowing that every single day is so filled with potential - you cannot wait for life to give you anything. You have no right to feel entitled. You are not entitled to anything.
