fear gains prove
We must do the work to prove our fears groundless, otherwise it is our fears that will gain ground and our lives will be spent in their service.
pain mistake past
Past mistakes cannot create a present pain; no mistake in life has the power to make us ache any more than the echo of someone crying can shed tears.
gratitude why-not moments
If you love getting gifts - and who doesn't - then why not accept, with gratitude, the greatest gift there is: the present moment.
real achievement degrees
Real achievement -- the true measure of how far we have advanced in life -- is not determined by what we have acquired, but rather by the degree to which we have put our fears behind us.
believe coffee choices
The belief that you have no choice but to keep suffering through whatever frightens you is like believing you have to hold onto a scalding cup so that you won't spill your coffee!
world changing-the-world conscious
We can only begin to change the world around us when we are willing to become a conscious part of all that is changing.
heart reality creating
The deepest parts of you know that if freedom from fear was as easy as 'creating a new reality' for yourself, then you would already be the fearless person you know in your heart that you're meant to be.
mean cells years
Statistics vary, but in less than seven years there won't be a single cell left in any of our bodies that's the same as it is today. This means that any human being who 'wants' to change is like a mountain river wanting to reach the valley floor. It's a done deal; that's what mountain rivers do, and 'changing' should be our first nature.
thinking things-change remember
Be still; quietly remember the presence of and within yourself, and you will know, without thinking, that while all around you everything changes, within you lives something unchanging.
fearless days-to-come plans
Far better is it for you to go through one small thing that frightens you than to make a thousand plans for an imagined fearless day to come.
essentials world live-free
What world is there for us where our essential nature - and its right to live free - is one and the same?
real real-love want
Real love cannot be deceived because it wants nothing outside of itself
self mind defeat
An unattended mind is the breeding ground of self-defeat.
wise wise-words walks
Walk lightly through life.
