I've come to trust not that events will always unfold exactly as I want, but that I will be fine either way. The challenges we face in life are always lessons that serve our soul's growth.

We are the only species systematically destroying its own habitat.

Living meaningfully is what brings joy.

Spiritual growth increases our sense of what's possible. And as we sense new possibility, we can step into that possibility. With every word, every thought, every action, we choose what we wish to call forth in life.

I don't think pain is a prerequisite for growth, but on the other hand, most of us choose very painful ways to learn.

If you think there's something you need in order to be happy, then you believe in lack. Then believing you lack, you will create more lack.

What is happening in politics today is a similar process to what happened in the medical world a few decades ago: realizing that there's more to healing than just addressing symptoms. Primary paradigm when it comes to dealing with political and social disease is allopathic: Pass a law, lock someone up, engage in warfare. And the state of the world today makes it clear that such allopathic measures have not exactly brought peace to all.
