Open your eyes, whether you presently believe it or not, your life is already abundant. Before you can accept abundance in your life, you have to notice it.
Susan JeffersEvery time you encounter something that forces you to “handle it,” your self-esteem is raised considerably. You learn to trust that you will survive, no matter what happens. And in this way your fears are diminished immeasurably.
Susan Jefferspeople who refuse to take risks live with a feeling of dread that is far more severe than what they would feel if they took the risks necessary to make them less helpless - only they don't know it!
Susan JeffersThe knowledge that you can handle anything that comes your way is the key to allowing yourself to take risks. ... security is not having things; it's handling things.
Susan JeffersRejection never feels good, but it certainly hurts less when we are not needing something from the person who is rejecting us.
Susan JeffersLook at people in your life as “practice.” The way you react to them allows you to see what you have to work on within yourself.
Susan JeffersAging allows us to drop the baggage. It is only through life experiences that our incredible power can be brought forward in all its glory.
Susan JeffersWe all create expectations of what we would like to happen after a decision is made. The picture in our mind's eye might have served a valuable function in helping to make a decision. But once the decision is made, let the picture go. Since you can't control the future, the picture can create unhappiness if it's not fulfilled. Disappointment may make you miss the good that can come out of every situation in which you find yourself.
Susan JeffersWe don't have to wait until we are old to gather the riches... We can gather them every day of our lives.

Susan JeffersBy learning to trust your intuition, miracles seem to happen. Intuitive thoughts are gifts from the higher self.
Susan JeffersOne step at a time is enough for me. Impatience is simply a way of beating yourself up.
Susan JeffersRemove those 'I want you to like me' stickers from your forehead and, instead, place them where they truly will do the most good -on your mirror!
Susan JeffersYou are innately designed to use your personal power. When you don't, you experience a sense of helplessness, paralysis, and depression-which is your clue that something is not working as it could. You, like all of us, deserve everything that is wonderful and exciting in life. And those feelings emerge only when you get in touch with your powerful self.
Susan JeffersObviously, the real issue has nothing to do with fear itself, but, rather, how we hold the fear. For some, the fear is totally irrelevant. For others, it creates a state of paralysis. The former hold their fear from a position of power (choice, energy, and action), and the latter hold it from a position of pain (helplessness, depression, and paralysis).
Susan JeffersDon't be deceived into thinking that by changing the external, the internal will be changed. It works the other way around; the path that needs changing is the one in your mind.

Susan JeffersCommitment doesn't mean that it has to last forever, but while you are there, commit yourself 100%. By doing this, the quality of your life improves 100%.
Susan JeffersWe become powerful in the face of our fears when we have a sense that we make a difference in this world. We are all meaningful participants in this Universe and worthy of giving and receiving love. Some affirmations of purpose are: I know that I count and I act as though I do. I spread warmth and love everywhere I go. I am a healing force in the Universe.
Susan JeffersBringing a spiritual dimension into all that we do is essential for ending the struggle and dancing with life. Our body and our minds can take us only so far, our spirit can lead us all the way Home.
Susan JeffersYour joy, your happiness, your satisfaction and your ability to dance with life, depends solely on what you pay attention to.
Susan JeffersWhatever the method, the purpose of quieting the mind is always the same... to step out of you own way and touch a Universal Oneness with all things.
Susan JeffersSaying yes means getting up and acting on your belief that you can create meaning and purpose in whatever life hands you.
Susan JeffersTaking responsibility means not blaming yourself. Anything that takes away your power or your pleasure makes you a victim. Don't make yourself a victim of yourself!
Susan JeffersSuccess is... living a full and balanced life in partnership with others to create a joyful feeling of love, contribution, appreciation and abundance, despite how our endeavors may turn out.
Susan JeffersDear God, I trust that no matter what happens in my life, it is for my highest good. And no matter what happens in the lives of those I love, it is for their highest good. From all things that are put before us all, we shall become stronger and more loving people. I am grateful for all the beauty and opportunity you put into my life. And in all that I do, I shall seek to be a channel for your love.
Susan JeffersWhen you put loving thoughts and behavior into the world, you plant seeds of self-respect. When you put unloving thoughts and behavior into the world, you destroy seeds of self-respect.
