Our difficulties launch us into new states of consciousness where we are inspired to step out of the reality of our smallest thoughts and step into the limitless freedom of our biggest dreams.

When you make peace with yourself, the world will mirror back that same level of peace.

Unforgiveness is the poison you drink every day hoping that the other person will die.

Whatever we refuse to recognize about ourselves has a way of rearing its head and making itself known when we least expect it.

Embracing our dark side gives us a new found freedom to be with the darkness in others. For when I can love all of me, I will love all of you.

The greatest act of courage is to be and to ownall of who you are - without apology, without excuses, without masks to cover the truth of who you are.

If you admire greatness in another human being, it is your own greatness you are seeing.

It is time to search out your uniqueness, applaud and acknowledge yourself, and let your own light shine.

Right now, there is a stronger, more vibrant, more inspired version of you that is wanting and waiting to emerge.

Do not wait another day to become fully engaged in your life, to learn to love and to forgive, and to live with greater purpose & meaning.

It is well we cannot see into the future. There are few boys of fourteen who would not feel ashamed of themselves at forty.

One cannot leap a chasm in two jumps.
