When you are happy, the people around you are happy, too, and it inspires them to change their own world.

Everything that is true is authentic.

To say a prayer doesn't take more than a minute, but you need the discipline to do it.

You are the way you are because that is what you believe about yourself.

Personal importance, or taking things personally, is the maximum expression of selfishness because we make the assumption that everything is about me.

You can live in heaven right now. Heaven or hell is here and now; you don't need to wait to die. If you take responsibility for your own life, for your own actions, then your future is in your hands, and you can live in heaven while your body is alive.

If others tell us something we make assumptions, and if they don't tell us something we make assumptions to fulfill our need to know and to replace the need to communicate. Even if we hear something and we don't understand we make assumptions about what it means and then believe the assumptions. We make all sorts of assumptions because we don't have the courage to ask questions.
