As difficult as it can be to find genuine inner calm, it is the key to creating peace in the world as we know it. The world will not change until we do, and there is nothing the world can deliver to us that will give us the peace we crave. Peace comes not from the world, but from God.

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

To trust in the force that moves the universe is faith. Faith isn't blind, it's visionary.

Your playing small does not serve the world. Who are you not to be great?

Daily life is the enemy of greatness.

How we sit within the body is an extremely important part of the spiritual journey. The body itself is used either by the spirit within us, or by the fear-based mind. When it is used by the spirit, then it is a thing of holiness. How we dwell within it, how we treat it, and how we use it in relationship to other aspects of the planet is extremely important. When we use the body without reverence, we are destructive elements on the planet. We become destructive to ourselves, to other life forms, and to the earth.

Our barriers to love are rarely consciously chosen. They are our efforts to protect the places where the heart is bruised.
