Judgements prevent us from seeing the good that lies beyond appearances.

Stop giving energy to the things you don't want.

I start every day by wanting more for others than I do for myself. I think that is how God works, and that is how I think we have to work.

By all means give vent to your anger, let it out in nondestructive ways--if you are still deciding to have it. But begin to think of yourself as someone who can learn to think new thoughts when you are frustrated, so that the immobilizing anger can be replaced by more fulfilling emotions. Annoyance, irritation, and disappointment are feelings that you will very likely continue to experience, since the world will never be the way you want it. But anger, that hurtful emotional response to obstacles, can be eliminated.

Before speaking, consult your inner-truth barometer, and resist the temptation to tell people only what they want to hear.

There's a difference between knowing God and knowing about God. Knowing about God is all of the stuff we've been told and all of the books we've read and all of our religious experiences and what others have told us and tried to convince us of. But knowing God is when we make conscious contact.

You are the sum total of your choices.
