Self-love is the starting point for everything.

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

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

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.

There is a knowingness that is as much a part of us as flesh and blood and bones. It's intuition, the deepest natural knowing. ... Intuition is the voice within forever pressing us to stretch ourselves, to take risks, to keep loving and giving birth to a new self, regardless of circumstances.

We don't have an eternity to realize our dreams, only the time we are here.
