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.

God heard us. He sent help. He sent you.

The way to have the life we want is to receive more deeply the life we have. Sometimes we keep our own life at arm's length, thinking we'll wait until circumstances improve before giving it all we've got. But life is just a reflection of consciousness, so it's never going to give any more to us than we give to it. Don't wait for a perfect life; breathe in the life that's already perfect.

The point of life is not who falls down. The point is who gets up and how you do it.

We are always pregnant with a truer version of ourselves.

Spiritual progress is like a detoxification.

So it is that a new politics centers around the arousal of that power, using prayer and meditation to create a force field of transformation.
