People suffer when they pursue a life or chase a dream that doesn’t belong to them.

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.

Success is a way of life with the sense of connection, compassion, and expansion of human life.

Be thankful for all you gain. Be thankful for what you lose, too. Find a reason each day to celebrate your life.

Hey, when you love a woman, and when she’s this crazy in love with you, you’ve got to do whatever she says, man.

May we exist like a lotus, / At home in the muddy water. / Thus we bow to life as it is.

Earl Scruggs is the guy who really made that leap with using three fingers in a rotating fashion to create this fast rippling sound that had never been heard before.

In the entirety of my life, I have never had an eating disorder.

I try not to cry, in general. The experience of crying is so emotional and uncomfortable for me that I don't like to go there.

If one is intelligent and applies himself well, what can he not accomplish? Even small bands of people, I have heard, have defeated whole armies.

Though flattery blossoms like friendship, yet there is a vast difference in the fruit.

The other teams could make trouble for us if they win.
