When we surrender to God, we let go of our attachment to how things happen on the outside, and we become more concerned with what happens on the inside.

Personal growth can be painful, because it can make us feel ashamed and humiliated to face our own darkness. But our spiritual goal is the journey out of fear-based, painful mental habit patterns, to those of love and peace.

Capitalism has been really good to me. I'm very fortunate: I have written books and my books have sold.

I used to feel like I was waiting for someone to discover me, to 'produce' me, like Lana Turner at the drugstore. Utlimately I realized that the person I was waiting for was myself. If we wait for the world's permission to shine, we will never receive it.

I know. And that's what took me so long

Don't think small and expect to have a big life.
