In the retail business, many people are too consumed with the bottom line. How much am I going to be selling? Am I going to be able to do all the things I need to get done? Instead, if they are at peace and feeling good about themselves - if they are treating customers with love and acting as statesmen and stateswomen and people who are connected to God in a spiritual sense - then every day for them is a real joy.

We spend a big hunk of our lifetimes contemplating what we can't have, what we don't want and what's missing in our lives. What we have to learn is to put our attention and focus on contemplating what it is we would like to attract, and not on what is missing.

Present-moment living, getting in touch with your now, is at the heart of effective living. When you think about it, there really is no other moment you can live. Now is all there is, and the future is just another present moment to live when it arrives.

Whatever I fight weakens me. Whatever I cooperate with strengthens me.

Now is all we have. Everything that has ever happened to you, and anything that is ever going to happen to you, is just a thought.

When you judge another, you do not define them, you define yourself.

God is love and doesn't ask for anything back in return. So it's that process of letting go and just allowing, and just being in that pure state.
