Self-hate is a form of mental slavery that results in poverty, ignorance, and crime.

When we have painful memories from hurting experiences, we may feel justified in holding on to the resentment. But resentment is corrosive. It doesn't affect the person we feel anger toward, it destroys the host.

There are no meaningless experiences.

Take the reins of your life in your hands every day. Get up and put a smile on your face, and feel grateful for this gift in your life.

As we rise to meet the challenges that are a natural part of living, we awaken to our many undiscovered gifts, to our inner power and our purpose.

Imagine how free we would feel and what we could accomplish if we could live without fear.

The more we nourish our internal world, the more powerful we grow in the external world.
