When somebody comes up to you and shows you yellow underlining of something you wrote, that's such a high. It's a connection to others.

Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous?

You are completely at choice who you will be today in your interactions with others. Compassionate, kind, giving and forgiving will create one set of probabilities; angry, judgmental, critical and defensive will create another one altogether.

In pursuing personal growth, there are issues where we can advance just so far by ourselves. At some point, our continued progress and improvement can only come about through relationships with others. Romantic love is an intense and intimate exposure to another person; if we can be who we want to be, even in that context, then our spiritual growth is exponentially expanded.

The last thing we should do is allow ourselves to be infantilized by a counterfeit version of enlightenment.

Miracles arise from conviction. Be convicted about these things: Miracles can happen. Miracles do happen. Love makes them happen.

People who hate often do so with great conviction. What we need are more people who love with conviction.
