The goal of the human experience is to transform ourselves from being who long to attain power in the physical world to beings who are empowered from within.

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.

Technology is notorious for engrossing people so much that they don't always focus on balance and enjoy life at the same time.

We must be prepared to pay a price for freedom, for no price that is ever asked for it is half the cost of doing without it.

If moderation is a fault, then indifference is a crime.

I think men are still attracted to what they've always found attractive, which is a woman who is feminine, soft, real, and . . . womanly.

John Kerry speaks French fluently. Democrats are saying he's one in a million. A war hero who speaks French, isn't it more like one in a trillion?

There is no past we can bring back by longing for it. There is only an eternal now that builds and creates out of the past something new and better.

I do love standup. I love comedians. They're my community. Also, because I know so many of them, I know the value of them. I know what they can do.

Before there was a proper understanding and a sense of God's presence, the idea that everything would one day end was utterly desolating.

Don't be gullible, use life before it uses you. Understand there are no free lunches, and for every action you take, there's a reaction.

If you are not actively seeking and creating opportunities, which always contain an element of risk, you are actually exposing yourself to more serious risks in the long term.
