There's not a day I live that doesn't start with me getting up and first saying, "What can I do for somebody else?" Whether that means sending something to one of my children or picking up the phone and calling a stranger who is in the hospital, I start every day by wanting more for others than I do for myself.

You must make a daily effort to look upon others without condemnation. Every judgment takes you away from your goal of peace. Your ego loves your judgments, because with them you remain in a constant state of anguish and remorse. Keep in mind that you do not define anyone with your judgment; you only define yourself as someone who needs to be judged.

The fact that you are willing to say, 'I do not understand, and it is fine,' is the greatest understanding you could exhibit.

You don’t need a reason to be happy...your desire to be so is sufficient.

Live today. Let go of your attachment to your past as an excuse for your life conditions today. You are the product of the choices you are making right now.

If you've ever felt inspired by a purpose or calling, you know the feeling of spirit working through you.

There is only one time that is important-Now! It is the most important time because it is the only time when we have any power. The most necessary person is the one with whom you are, for no person knows whether he or she will ever have dealings with anyone else: and the most important affair is, to do the person good, because for that purpose alone were human beings sent into this life!
