Fate is how your life unfolds when you let fear determine your choices. A path of destiny reveals itself to you, however, when you confront your fear and make conscious choices.

It is not what we choose that is important; it is the reason we choose it.

A compromise is done willingly and out of love. You don't go away thinking, "I betrayed myself."

You cannot make a miracle like love happen.

The dark night of the soul is a journey into light, a journey from your darkness into the strength and hidden resources of your soul.

Spiritual maturity is measured not by the sophistication of a person's opinions, but by their genuineness and the courage necessary to express and maintain them.

The ability to know that your perceptions are accurate has to happen without others' validation. Intuition is not the result of diet, rituals, or wind chimes. It's the natural consequence of having self-esteem, the greatest power you can have. With self-esteem, your life can broaden into an adventure because you can know in your gut that you can handle the unknown. And you can handle helping others without fear, which is true liberation.
