Here's the gift of gratitude: In order to feel it, your ego has to take a backseat. What shows up in its place is greater compassion and understanding. Instead of being frustrated, you choose appreciation. And the more grateful you become, the more you have to be grateful for.

If a man wants you, nothing can keep him away. If he doesn't want you, nothing can make him stay.

Pray as if it's up to God, work as if it's up to you.

Whatever our dreams, ideas, or projects, we plant a seed, nurture it -- and then reap the fruits of our labors.

My constant prayer for myself is to be used in service for the greater good.

I’ve learned not to worry about what might come next.

You have to find what sparks a light in you so that you in your own way can illuminate the world.
