Love is what we were born with. Fear is what we learned here.

If our emotional stability is based on what other people do or do not do, then we have no stability. If our emotional stability is based on love that is changeless and unalterable, then we attain the stability of God.

When I was a child, my society lifted me up - though education primarily, as well as through other kinds of cultural stimulation. It wasn't just my parents or my religious community. The entire society lifted me up to the bottom rung of the ladder. Then they said, "Girl, it's up to you whether or not you climb." I don't have a problem with that. I think that is the best way to go about living.

If your eyes were open to all the beauty in the world, you would be overwhelmed with joy.

The only work that will ultimately bring any good to any of us is the work of contributing to the healing of the world.

We're often afraid of looking at our shadow because we want to avoid the shame or embarrassment that comes along with admitting mistakes.

Once we truly understand that God's will is that we be happy, we no longer feel the need to ask for anything other than that God's will be done.
