I don't believe the United States is going through a midlife crisis. The United States is going through an adolescent crisis.

Sometimes, when I talk to someone who has just been diagnosed with cancer or some other illness, I'll remind them: "If you were honest with yourself, you were depressed before this happened. And if this were over you would be happy for a couple of weeks, a couple of months, and then something else would come along."

As we give, so shall we receive. Service does not mean self-sacrifice. It means giving the needs of another person the same priority as our own.

As long as you identify with the universe - which is perfect and can correct material conditions to bring them back into alignment with that Divine perfection - as long as that is where your mind is aligned, it's as though there were two parallel universes. You decide with every thought you think which one you're going to inhabit. Two parallel universes of experience, as it were.

In every moment, we make a choice about which direction we are going to go. Once we realize that this is a self-correcting and self-organizing universe, then we don't have to look any further than our own life circumstances, the relationships and situations that we are in, to begin the transformation.

With every thought we think, we either summon or block a miracle.

You don't have to pray to attract great things, because great things are attracted to you already. Pray that you won't throw them away once they get here.
