Your circumstances do not determine what your life will be; they reveal what kinds of images you have chosen up until now.

Everything I ever worried about turned out exactly as it was going to, despite my anxious moments to the contrary.

We need to learn to process things in a different way. I always think of everything in terms of energy. To me, problems represent living in a world of low energy. When you bring higher energy to the presence of lower energy, it dissolves it, it dissipates it, it can't survive.

Each experience in your lifewas absolutely necessary in order to have gotten you to the next place, and the next place, up to this very moment.

Life is all about learning and one of the most memorable ways of learning something is by messing up.

When you consider what you would love to accomplish in your life but feel ill-prepared to bring it about, picture the eighty-nine Michelangelo living five centuries ago, painting, sculpting, and writing. Imagine he is telling you that you can create whatever you desire, and the great danger is not in having too much hope, but in reaching what you have perceived as hopeless.

Forgive yourself and welcome love back into your life.
