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.
Every choice gives you a chance to pave your own road. Keep moving. Full speed ahead
I know for sure that what we dwell on is who we become.
It's all about dreams. If I had to attribute my success in life to any one thing it is this. I believed in my dreams, even when no one else did.
The next time you look into the mirror, try to let go of the storyline that says you're too fat or too sallow, too ashy or too old, your eyes are too small or your nose too big; just look into the mirror and see your face. When the criticism drops away, what you will see then is just you, without judgment, and that is the first step towards transforming your experience of the world.
