I’ve learned that fear is simply an illusion based on past experiences that we project into the present and onto the future.

Most people don't walk around the tools to process pain and fear, that kind of discomfort. In most cases, it's unbearable to look at it, feel it, and/or address it. It's why I'm such a fan of self-help books.

The happier and more stress-free you are, the more people will want to be around you and the more your friends will respect you.

Inside we are all Golden Buddha's, but we grew to believe we were made of clay. Our ego's false perceptions led us to grow into a belief system that covered our inner light. We've spent years, maybe decades, masking our truth. Now it's time to embrace our light and reconnect with our Golden Buddha within.

The first thing is to be willing. You must become willing to feel the discomfort that's occurred and/or shown up. Some of it is taking ownership of your part in the situation, to clean it up and be willing to make amends.

My definition of God is the ever-present essence of love.

When we fulfill our function, which is to truly love ourselves and share love with others, then true happiness sets in.
