A man who is not accountable to anyone is a danger to himself
We voluntary participate in things that we know are causing us harm because we believe we're powerless to do anything about it.
Dear God, Please untie the nots. All of the can nots, should nots, may nots and have nots. Please erase from my mind the thoughts that I am not good enough.
Sometimes on the journey, you step in dog poop. But you don't let the whole journey be about the fact that your shoe got poop on it.
I believe that the only thing that will dispel the darkness is for the light to come on. And the lights are coming on. Here, there. People are eating more vegetables, living green, taking in and saving animals. All of that is the light coming on.
The beloved is one who nurtures you, trusts you, supports you, encourages you, loves you without conditions. That's you.
Mistakes are lessons that you need to learn!
Love is what you are, not what you give or get!
I learned that telling the truth was a big part of loving yourself.
Truth is love's mother, and we all know it is not wise to lie to anyone's mother.
All relationships have the same basic components: people, needs, and expectations.
It is not what you hear, it is where you listen from within yourself that gives meaning to the message.
There are no guarantees in life, but it is a sure thing that you will get back what you give. If you give 100 percent of your attention, energy, and time to a thing, you will get exactly that back. Make sure you give all that you have to make sure you will get all that you need.
Healing is the application of love.
