Most people tell themselves these excuses - I've always been this way, how can I possibly change, this is my nature, I can't help it - that are just memes

Practice being gentle, respectful and loving toward the life force in all things. Remind yourself that your efforts do make a difference, even if you think they are miniscule in comparison to the magnitude of the problem.

If you are what you do, then when you don't, you aren't.

When you connect to your source, you can create anything you'd like to have in your life.

Know that you are part of a joyful Universe. Allow your romantic, ecstatic, blissful emotions to appear more frequently in your daily life. When you feel joy, experience it and express it! As the New Testament says, 'Joy is the fruit of the Spirit.'

Send out anger and impatience, and that's what you'll get. Send out love, and you'll get back love.

When you grow up believing you are what you do, when you're done, you aren't.
