You've committed no sins, just mistakes.

We're just afraid, period. Our fear is free-floating. We're afraid this isn't the right relationship or we're afraid it is. We're afraid they won't like us or we're afraid they will. We're afraid of failure or we're afraid of success. We're afraid of dying young or we're afraid of growing old. We're more afraid of life than we are of death.

The secret of success is to realize that the crisis on our planet is much larger than just deciding what to do with your own life, and if the system under which we live the structure of western civilization begins to collapse because of our selfishness and greed, then it will make no difference whether you have $1 million dollars when the crash comes or just $1.00. The only work that will ultimately bring any good to any of us is the work of contributing to the healing of the world.

Joy is what happens to us when we allow ourselves to recognize how good things really are.

We don't ask God for too much; in fact, we ask for too little. Turn to Him for everything. Give everything to God.

I think those of us on a spiritual journey can help create a new conversation, a new America, and a new world.

Behind every fear, there is a miracle waiting.
