Problems come about when we try to direct the flow of the universe rather than allow it to reveal its own design. Inherent in that design is a love for all living things.

You may believe that you are responsible for what you do, but not for what you think. The truth is that you are responsible for what you think, because it is only at this level that you can exercise choice. What you do comes from what you think.

For what we engage, we transform. And what we engage with our hearts is transformed forever.

We can always choose to perceive things differently. You can focus on what's wrong in your life, or you can focus on what's right.

I think it's unfortunate how many people today try to build up their own careers by denigrating the work of others.

Some professional writers write everyday no matter what and perhaps that's the way it should be done, but it's not the way I do it. If I'm not pregnant with words and I'm not in labor with them, I don't even try to bring them forth because they won't be any good anyway. Once I'm ready to deliver, it's like being pregnant. I've got to find a typewriter or a piece of paper. The only words that have ever had any possible value to others seem to have been those words that just had to come out.

You are emerging from the cocoon of your former self. There are no limits to the extent of the transformation that's possible for you.
