Today expect something good to happen to you no matter what occurred yesterday. Realize the past no longer holds you captive. It can only continue to hurt you if you hold on to it. Let the past go. A simply abundant world awaits.

When we live our lives authentically, we discover our true place in the world for the first time.

Today is not the day you quit. Nor is it the day you cry. Today you know that you have all the passion and wisdom to find that quiet center of solace, serenity and strength necessary to create and sustain an authentic life.

Every time we remember to say "thank you", we experience nothing less than heaven on earth.

The simpler we make our lives, the more abundant they become. There is no scarcity except in our souls.
