Virtually every spiritual tradition teaches that your higher self is the presence of God within you.

Don't Let the Elusive Present Moment Get Used Up by Thoughts that Aren't in the Here & Now

The opposite of courage is not so much fear as it is conformity.

Often we use the word problem only because we have not learned that imagination and creativity can handle the situation.

Albert Einstein once reported, "Great spirits have always encountered voilent opposition from mediocre minds." If you want to achieve your own greatness, to climb your own mountains, you'll have to use yourself as your first and last consultant.

But even technical work filled with formulas can be valuable and important. Einstein offered a lot of technical work on quantum physics, which mostly eludes me. I refer to his work, and I have studied it, but I am not a physicist. But look at Einstein's simple statement that the most important decision you ever will make is the decision whether you live in a friendly universe or a hostile universe.

I want to have thoughts of abundance. I want to have thoughts of love, of kindness, of beauty.
