My eye is ever on those who love me.
If you do what you've always done, you'll get what you've always gotten.
Life is a gift, and it offers us the privilege, opportunity, and responsibility to give something back by becoming more.
There is no such thing as failure. There are only results.
To effectively communicate, we must realize that we are all different in the way we perceive the world and use this understanding as a guide to our communication with others.
It is in your moments of decision that your destiny is shaped.
Loving the self, to me, begins with never ever criticizing ourselves for anything. Criticism locks us into the very pattern we are trying to change. Understanding and being gentle with ourselves helps us to move out of it. Remember, you have been criticizing yourself for years, and it hasn’t worked. Try approving of yourself and see what happens.
When people come to me with a problem, I don’t care what it is — poor health, lack of money, unfulfilling relationships, or stifled creativity—there is only one thing I ever work on, and that is LOVING THE SELF. I find that when we really love and accept and APPROVE OF OURSELVES EXACTLY AS WE ARE, then everything in life works.
'I forgive you for not being the way I wanted you to be. I forgive you and I set you free.' This affirmation sets us free.
If we choose to believe we are helpless victims and that it’s all hopeless, then the Universe will support us in that belief, and we will just go down the drain. It is vital that we release these foolish, outmoded, negative ideas and beliefs that do not support us and nourish us. Even our concept of God needs to be one that is for us, not against us.

These feelings come from blaming others and not taking responsibility for our own experiences. You see, if we are all responsible for everything in our lives, then there is no [continue reading...]

Look how often you have refused to think a positive thought about yourself. Well, you can also refuse to think a negative thought about yourself.
No matter what the problem is, our experiences are just outer effects of inner thoughts. Even self-hatred is only hating a thought you have about yourself. You have a thought that says, “I’m a bad person.” This thought produces a feeling, and you buy into the feeling. However, if you don’t have the thought, you won’t have the [continue reading...]
Love is the great miracle cure. Loving ourselves works miracles in our lives.
Inner peace begins the moment you choose not to allow another person or event to control your emotions
Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing there is a field. I'll meet you there.
Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned.
Without health life is not life; it is only a state of langour and suffering - an image of death.
Peace comes from within. Do not seek it without.
