I love myself enough-not in a schmaltzy garbage sense, Hallmark stuff, I'm talking respect myself-I respect my life-force enough to no longer waste it.

Choice is your greatest power. It is an even greater power than love, because you must first choose to be a loving person.

The journey of consciousness, of mysticism, is to come to know yourself and your own motivations.

The reason you have descended into physical life is to unleash the power of your soul upon Earth.

People around the world are confusing the therapeutic value of self-expression with permission to manipulate others with their wounds.

It's two things: it's totally impersonal and it's totally personal, simultaneously. That's the nature of the mystical experience of life. Everything about life is impersonal, but you have a personal experience. And the bridge between the personal and the impersonal is called prayer.

You are in the depths of despair because you locked in on something or someone that didn't belong to you. I've met many people who have lost everything, especially in these times. People who survive devastating loss have the ability to let go of what they were doing, how much they were earning, and what they feel they are entitled to right now. They may well return to their former status, but their immediate task is to assess their skills and show resilience moving forward.
