Hopefully, I will emerge more shining. If I have that good fortune, if I am blessed in that way - and I do feel I am in the middle of the blessing - then I have faith my service will be greater.
To forgive is merely to remember only the loving thoughts you gave in the past, and those that were given you. All the rest must be forgotten.
Who we are, not just the services and products we provide, creates money.
You are loved, and your purpose is to love.
I've always wanted to have a radio show. It has been a dream of mine for a long time. With a radio show I can sit in a studio, or ultimately even sit in my own living room, and talk to hundreds of thousands of people.
Sobriety itself is today's high, for it is ultimately in the most centered consciousness that we find our power to transcend the world.
We need to change society's ordering principle from economic to humanitarian values, from money as the bottom line to love as the bottom line.
Light is to darkness what love is to fear; in the presence of one the other disappears.
The universe is conspiring at this moment to bring you happiness and peace.
Forgiveness is like the martial arts of consciousness. In Aikido and, other martial arts, we sidestep our attackers force rather than resisting it. The energy of the attack then boomerangs back in the direction of the attacker. Our power lies in remaining nonreactive. Forgiveness works in the same way. When we attack back, and defense is a form of attack, we initiate a war that no one can win.
When a woman gives birth, two are born: a baby from the womb of its mother and a woman from the womb of her former existence.
You are completely at choice who you will be today in your interactions with others. Compassionate, kind, giving and forgiving will create one set of probabilities; angry, judgmental, critical and defensive will create another one altogether.
The issue is not whether or not you have that power, the issue is whether or not you use it.
I have lived enough to know great things will unfold for me externally only if I allow them to unfold for me internally.
