Everything connects to everything; therefore, as we change, the world cannot but change with us.

My biggest past mistakes have been when I made decisions out of ego rather than spirit. When I acted too quickly. When I wasn't contemplative or reflective or prayerful enough, and I ended up making what I would only later see to be unwise decisions.

The only real failure is the failure to grow from what we go through

I think you have to grieve the loss of youth before you can claim the joy on the other side of it.

It's the beginning of your day. You awake and look around you, feeling perhaps a joyful expectation, or perhaps an awful dread. No matter which, remember this: God loves you with an infinite love.

Increasing meaning and joy on the planet is the ultimate goal because within that space all evil is cast out.

Many people who say they're looking for love are merely looking for superficial comfort. They're not looking yet for the true romantic adventure. For that entails a readiness to die to who we were, in order to be born again prepared for love, truly worthy of the romantic heights.
