If I were somebody dealing with chronic pain, I would see it as a challenge to manage my mind; even knowing that the effect of my thoughts is not only affecting my experience, but it is absolutely affecting the state of my health.

When we think good thoughts, we feel good. When we feel good, we make good choices. When we feel good and make good choices, we draw more good experiences into our lives. It really is that simple … and elegant … and true.

Every day, in some way, we're all being prepared for something better.

I am a shining star, and I surround myself with people who encourage my brightness.

Ask for help. Receiving is an act of generosity.

If beating yourself up worked you'd be rich, thin, and happy. Try loving yourself instead.

When you make a choice to be of service to others, you gain the courage and sense of determination that will fuel your efforts. With a solid vision in place, you also become less concerned with your individual fear or self-doubt and more committed to taking the actions that will support your larger vision.
