If you seek what is honorable, what is good, what is the truth of your life, all the other things you could not imagine come as a matter of course.
Every day brings a chance for you to draw in a breath, kick off your shoes, and dance.
In God, I move and breathe and have my being.
Everybody looks at their poop.
I can't define "God," so to be open to the mystical and mystery of God is a natural part of myself. So people criticize me for not being what they are, and I say, it's working for me and has worked for me and continues to work for me, in a way that fills me with a sense of peace and contentment about what God means to me.
When you don't know what to do, get still. The answer will come.
I have created a life by stepping out of the box of people's limitations. I call it zigging when others are zagging.
I still have my feet on the ground, I just wear better shoes.
When you're doing the work you're meant to do, it feels right and every day is a bonus, regardless of what you're getting paid.
The stories that you tell yourself can make or break you - no matter who you are.
Find a way to get paid for doing what you love. Then every paycheck will be a bonus.
Here's the gift of gratitude: In order to feel it, your ego has to take a backseat. What shows up in its place is greater compassion and understanding. Instead of being frustrated, you choose appreciation. And the more grateful you become, the more you have to be grateful for.
If you want to accomplish the goals of your life, you have to begin with the spirit.
When you choose the paradigm of service, it turns everything you do from a job into a gift.
