Churchgoers feel righteous, responsible, and obedient to God's will. They view anyone unlike themselves as devoid of values, and therefore unworthy of God's love. By denying God to all those who have strayed from the path of righteousness, the devout are unwittingly taking on themselves a role that belongs only to God.

Meditation is a good starting point, or even a little bit of contemplative reflection, asking questions like: Who am I without my name or form? What is my purpose if there is one? What do I want out of my life? What am I grateful for? Just a little bit of reflection like that starts you on the journey.

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

There are only 2 responses to the world, fear or love. Your life depends on which one you choose.

The secret to creative freedom is letting go of our habitual certainities.

Passively accepting your sadness is the same as forgetting to build your own happiness. Happiness is more than a mood. It's a long-lasting state that is more accurately called well-being.

When we're passionate about something, we have a positive attitude and embrace each day with a new outlook.
