Words ride on the energy of tone, its warmth or coldness; think of tone as the music of how words are expressed. You want this music to be soulful, whether you're giving sweet talk or tough love.

The most influential person in the room isn't the one who is being a bully, talking loudly, and imposing him- or herself on others. Surrendered people understand that true power comes from being respectful and listening.

Surrendered people enjoy life, relish their personal development, and value their friends. They may have an exceptionally good career and be wealthy, but they are more concerned with meaning and fulfillment. The drive to acquire money and power is a behavior that drains people of their passion and emotional connection to others.

Trust your intuition. It is the best friend you will ever have.

Stop protesting the hand you've been dealt! Become partners with your life instead of making it an exhausting wrestling match.

When you feel stuck in reverse, take a breath and let go.

A woman isn't very powerful without her intuition.
