If you want a real experience of serenity, look for the good. Affirm the good. Acknowledge the good.

Some children do what they’re told to do; some children do what they’re told not to do; all children do what they’re parents have done.

The life you want is on the other side of the labor pains it takes to birth it.

The remedy for life's broken pieces is not classes, workshops or books. Don't try to heal the broken pieces. Just forgive.

I surround people in unconditional acceptance and love to such a degree that everything that is unloving about them rises to the surface.

You have a right to say no. Most of us have very weak and flaccid 'no' muscles. We feel guilty for saying no. We get ostracized and challenged for saying no, so we forget it's our choice. Your 'no' muscle has to be built up to get to a place where you can say, 'I don't care if that's what you want. I don't want that. No.'

Forgiveness means accepting what is or what has been and becoming willing to see it differently. You cannot un-hear what you have heard or un-see what you have seen. What you can do is stop believing that what occurred has somehow left you broken, damaged and wounded. While forgiveness ain’t easy, it’s the most important inner work you can do within your mind and heart.
