Until we see love as the meaning of life, life seems to have no meaning at all. The sense of meaninglessness produces chaos, and the chaos produces fear. There is only one way out of this, and that is to see every moment and every situation as an invitation to love.
If there is anything interesting about my story it's the fact that it's not unique at all. I feel that I have been through what almost everyone I know has - a slow and gradual maturation process.
Go for greatness. Anything else is a waste of time.
The opportunities for infinite possibility exist no matter what age we are.
In any moment, in any circumstance, a miracle will occur when we align ourselves with truth.
I'm certainly not saying anything new, and I'm not even saying anything all that different from what everyone else I know is saying right now - I'm saying what millions of people are saying. I'm just saying it publicly.
Think of your career as your ministry. Make your work an expression of love, in service to mankind. Within the worldly illusion, we all have different jobs. Some of us are artists, some of us are business people, some of us are scientists. But in the real world that lies beyond all this, we all have the same job: to minister to human hearts.
The world is terrified of joyful women. Make a stand. Be one anyway.
Our problem is not that we don't have power, so much as that we tend to not use the power we have.
The voices of fear are so loud today. The voices of love should never shout, but neither should they whisper - not at a time like this.
Imagine the most outrageously positive possibility for your life, claim it, and consider it done.
Your playing small doesn't serve the world.
You don't need a new life, just a new lens through which to view the one you have.
Speak from your mind and people will hear you with their mind. Speak from your heart and people will hear you with their heart.
