Failures, mistakes, and difficulties are just locations on your journey through life. They have nothing to do with who you are.

When you experience the clarity that comes when you choose trust and love, you can see other people accurately – as the same as you.

There are two forces in the universe: fear and love. Trust is part of love because it makes you feel safe, and it is only in this state that you are capable of love.

The most significant way you can edify another person is to see them accurately as the same as you, listen to them, and honor their right to their own thoughts and feelings.

The universe will never force a mindset on you. You have complete free agency to choose fear and suffer unnecessarily if you want to.

When a person feels appreciated for their infinite and absolute value, you can then communicate about any issue and you will have their cooperation and respect.

Encouragement is the most effective way to change someone’s behavior. When you see the best in them you encourage them to become that and they will want to live up to your high opinion of them.

Fear causes problems in your life because it fogs the lens through which you see yourself and your world.

All bad behavior is really a request for love, attention, or validation.

No matter how bad your heart is broken, the world doesn't stop for your grief.

Faith looks to the word and the promise; that is, to the truth. But hope looks to that which the word has promised, to the gift .

I do have my concerns for mankind as a species. Way I see it, humans are in transition. Accelerating at f**king light speed into some new insanity, and no one really knows how it's going to turn out.

I think in terms of chapters. Every time I finish a movie, it's a chapter. When one of my kids graduates from school, that's a chapter.

Jesus, deliver me from the spirit of witchcraft!
