Playing it safe is the riskiest choice we can ever make.

Begin today. Declare out loud to the universe that you are willing to let go of struggle and eager to learn through joy.

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.

We're not meant to fit in. We're meant to stand out.

What if you began to expect the best from any situation? Isn't it possible that you could write new chapters in your life with happy endings? Suspend your disbelief? Take a leap of faith? After all, what have you got to lose but misery and lack?

Since the choice of what we curl up with is often crucial for our solace and sanity, we need to learn how to nurture the talent of selection. Book browsing is a meditative art...Books are as essential as breathing.

Our success already exists on a spiritual level; it's a matter of pulling it into the physical world.
