We tend to have tremendous faith in the power of our disasters and far too little faith in the power of miracles.

Whatever worked in the past, build on it; whatever didn't work in the past, break the chain that binds you to it.

Cynicism is just an excuse for not helping.

Know that there's enough room for everyone to be passionate, creative & successful. In fact, there's more than room for everyone; there is a need for everyone.

Sadness is just a place on the map. Don't try to avoid it, resist it or escape through substances. Settle it, allow it, and it will go.

The miracle-minded perception would be to make happiness itself our goal and to relinquish the thought that we know what that would look like.

By softening our attitudes, practicing mercy and compassion, we transform our lives by transforming other people's experience of us. Send love before you when you enter a room, and people will subconsciously feel it; they'll be prone to show greater kindness in return. That's how love makes things work better in our lives; it realigns the reactions of people and things around us.
