Joy is a sustained sense of well-being and internal peace - a connection to what matters.

You are always walking in the direction of either love or fear. Choose wisely.

[People] might have a different word for the yearning of the heart and the yearning of the spirit that is looking for what I call "God," it still is the same thing. It is the heart's yearning to know the origin of its mystery. It's a heart's yearning to know the power of the divine in each of our lives. It's a heart's yearning to be connected to that.

Understand that the right to choose your own path is a sacred privilege. Use it. Dwell in possibility.
