Withhold no good impulse. You may fear that you will run to excess and squander too much, but those feelings are born of fear. In God's reality, the more you give of yourself-in feeling, generosity, self-expression, goodness, creativity, and love-the more you will be given.

The purpose of life is the expansion of happiness.

Just by being ourselves we are borne toward a destiny far beyond anything we could imagine.

In our willingness to step into the unknown, we surrender ourselves to the creative mind that orchestrates the dance of the universe.

Not every sky will be blue and not every day is springtime. So on the spiritual path a person learns to find this kind of happiness without needing nice things to happen on the outside. Rather, you find happiness by being who you really are. This isn't mystical. Young children are happy being who they are. The trick is to regain such a state when you are grown and have seen the light and dark sides of life.

The quality of our attention determines our experience.

Fear is the memory of pain. Addiction is the memory of pleasure. Freedom is beyond both.
