By softening our attitudes, practicing mercy and compassion, we transform our lives by transforming other people's experience of us. Send love before you when you enter a room, and people will subconsciously feel it; they'll be prone to show greater kindness in return. That's how love makes things work better in our lives; it realigns the reactions of people and things around us.

Love is within us. It cannot be destroyed, but can only be hidden

Our deepest need is to be seen.

Fear unchecked grows exponentially. Love poured forth has the power to remove it. Thus is the power of God in our lives

The greatest force of personal liberation is the decision to widen our circle of compassion, moving from focus on self to focus on service.

There is within each of us the possibility of magnificence. Every moment is an opportunity to make it manifest. Let the spirit awaken you to a miraculous life.

The universe takes us as seriously as we take it.

The only way to end a culture of violence is to proactively create a culture of peace.

Every heart has a divine intelligence and natural guidance system. With every prayer, every meditation and every thought of love, we tune in to ours.

Think of one person who you are tempted for any reason to withhold love from, and pray for their happiness. In that moment your pain will stop.

Faith isn't blind, it's visionary

Desperately seeking something is not what attracts it to us. When we dwell, in deep peace and kindness, whatever would add to our happiness just flows to our door.

Withholding love is a form of self-sabotage, as what we withhold from others we are withholding from ourselves.

We were all born carrying a promise -- a promise to make the world better -- and there's a yearning to make good on that promise that none of us can suppress forever.

Whatever we put out, it's coming back to us. The universe keeps a perfect set of books.

Claim the possibility of a miraculous shift toward global transformation, allow the thought to move through you like a wave of energy, then emerge ready for the task of doing your part to make it happen.

There are clearly times when quieting down and bringing our energy back into ourselves is a step toward inner peace. _x000D_ _x000D_ Yet the most powerful life is not one in which we bring ourselves back to our center when we have spun away from it, but rather one in which we seek to live from that center at all times.

Our problem is not that we don't have power, so much as that we tend to not use the power we have.

Our spiritual mission is not to ignore the darkness, but to bring light TO the darkness. Ignoring darkness does not dispel it; only the light does. That is the difference between denial and transcendence.

In any moment, in any circumstance, a miracle will occur when we align ourselves with truth.

Things don't spiral out of control when we surrender them; they spiral out of control when we try to control them!
