We divide ourselves up into spirit and human, but essentially we are all a part of the same world.

When I'm on purpose - when I'm allowing Source to come through - it's always there. At those times, I'm not focused on any ego sense about how much I'm going to make, how well a book is going to do, whether people are going to buy it, or any of that. I just go to a state of awe and gratitude - I'm deeply, profoundly grateful - and it just works. The first words out of my mouth every morning are "I thank you."

Love is the ability and willingness to allow those that you care for to be what they choose for themselves without any insistence that they satisfy you.

The Tao asks you to clearly see the parallels between you and this naturally flowing substance that allows life to sustain itself. Live as water lives, since you are water. Become as contented as the fluid that animates and supports you. Let your thoughts and behaviors move smoothly in accordance with the nature of all things.

You are in a partnership with all other human beings, not a contest to be judged better than some and worse than others.

The only thing an excuse gives you is an option out of the life you'd like to live.
