I don't ever want to humiliate a human being, and I don't want the fear of being humiliated to participate in my thoughts.

The soul always knows what to do to heal itself. The challenge is to silence the mind

Just let go. Let go of how you thought your life should be, and embrace the life that is trying to work its way into your consciousness.

When you do not seek or need approval, you are at your most powerful.

Let me give up the need to know why things happen as they do. I will never know and constant wondering is constant suffering.

By far the strongest poison to the human spirit is the inability to forgive oneself or another person. Forgiveness is no longer an option but a necessity for healing.

Grant me the grace to dissolve my negative thoughts about myself today. I breathe the grace of kindness into my heart. And may the grace of healing flow abundantly to every one in need of help.

Never blame another person for your personal choices - you are still the one who must live out the consequences of your choices.

You cannot change anything in your life with intention alone, which can become a watered-down, occasional hope that you'll get to tomorrow. Intention without action is useless.

There is no such thing as a simple act of compassion or an inconsequential act of service. Everything we do for another person has infinite consequences.

Being of service is not an option, it is a biological necessity. Every kind of action we do for someone is a reanimation of our own life force - and of the other person's.

I do know that when I am 60, I should be attempting to achieve different personal goals than those which had priority at age 20.

The missing link between humans and apes? It's certainly those brutes who haven't yet learned to respect privacy.

I was not good at team sports, I have to say. I'm quite good at individual sports, but I was not good at team sports, so I wasn't good at baseball and football.

Mighty is the force of motherhood! It transforms all things by its vital heat.

Sooner or later. It had better be sooner. Later is like the horizon; it recedes as you approach.

God means just what He says and He will do all that He has promised.

The challenges in our lives are there to STRENGTHEN our CONVICTIONS. They are NOT there to run us over.

Jesus Christ reveals, not an embarrassed God, not a confused God, not a God who stands apart from the problems, but One who stands in the thick of the whole thing with man.

I always thought I was good. That's why it was so frustrating when other people didn't agree.

As you head toward your goals, be prepared to make some slight adjustments to your course. You don't change your decision to go - you do change your direction to get there.
