Flexibility, Openness And Softness Are Consorting With Life. When You Are Rigid And You Know The Answer And Don't Listen To Other People's Point Of View, You Are Consorting With Death. Everything That Is Old And Close To Death Is Brittle And Breaks Apart Including Our Thinking. So Always Stay Flexible And Soft And Listen To Others With Caring. And Truthfully, All Of The Verses Hit Me - Especially When You Think About Them For Days, And Then Write On Them.

More From Wayne Dyer

If You Are Unwell, Don't Ask To Be Healed, Instead Ask To Be Restored To That Perfection From Which You Emanated.

You'll Be Happy To Know That The Universal Law That Created Miracles Hasn't Been Repealed.

Everything In The Universe Has A Purpose.

Forgiveness Means That You Fill Yourself With Love And You Radiate That Love Outward And Refuse To Hang Onto The Venom Or Hatred That Was Engendered By The Behaviors That Caused The Wounds.

Deficiency Motivation Doesn't Work. It Will Lead To A Life-long Pursuit Of Try To Fix Me. Learn To Appreciate What You Have And Where And Who You Are.

Successful People Make Money. It's Not That People Who Make Money Become Successful, But That Successful People Attract Money. They Bring Success To What They Do.

We've Lost The Sense Of Our Own Divinity. We Think That We're Separate From God, But We Can't Be. We Must Be Like What We Came From, And We Came From An Infinite, Loving, Kind, Beautiful Source. We've Forgotten That.

Peace Can Be A Lens Through Which You See The World. Be It. Live It. Radiate It Out. Peace Is An Inside Job.

Judgment Means That You View The World As You Are, Rather Than As It Is.

Don't Die With Your Music Still In You. Don't Die With Your Purpose Unfulfilled. Don't Die Feeling As If Your Life Has Been Wrong. Don't Let That Happen To You.

We Must Honor Our Worthiness In Order To Receive What We Want. In Our Society We Are Conditioned To Believe That We Are Not Worthy, And That It Is Even Selfish To Want To Be Able To Attract Things Into Our Lives.

Anger Is A Choice, As Well As A Habit. It Is A Learned Reaction To Frustration, In Which You Behave In Ways That You Would Rather Not. In Fact, Severe Anger Is A Form Of Insanity. You Are Insane Whenever You Are Not In Control Of Your Behavior. Therefore, When You Are Angry And Out Of Control, You Are Temporarily Insane.

Your Miracles Are An Inside Job. Go There To Create The Magic That You Seek In Your Life.

If You Want To Feel Connected To Your Own Purpose, Know This For Certain: Your Purpose Will Only Be Found In Service To Others, And In Being Connected To The Something Far Greater Than Your Mind/body/ego.

Most People Are Searching For Happiness. They're Looking For It. They're Trying To Find It In Someone Or Something Outside Of Themselves. That's A Fundamental Mistake. Happiness Is Something That You Are, And It Comes From The Way You Think.

Your Physical Self Is Inspired By A Divine Force That Beats Its Heart, Digests Its Food And Grows Its Fingernails, And This Same Force Is Receptive To Endlessly Abundant Health.

Knowing How To Swim Doesn't Come From Someone Else Showing You Or Someone Else Telling You Or Watching Movies Of Other People Swimming. It Comes From Having Been In The Water, Knowing How To Move Yourself Through The Water And Not Sink. And It's True Of Virtually Everything In Our Lives: Knowing Comes From Direct Experience.

I Think The Most Common Meme Is That It's Too Difficult To Change. It's Too Risky To Change. My Nature Doesn't Allow Me To Change. When You're Thinking That, You're Not Understanding What Your Nature Is. All Of Us Come From This Place Of Well-being, Love, And Kindness. But We've Taken On These Other Things, And We Think That They're Our Nature. Our Nature Really Is To Be Like God.

Your Children Are Not Your Children, They Come Through You, But They Are Life Itself, Wanting To Express Itself.

All Of Us Have The Capacity To Attract To Ourselves What Seems To Be Missing In Our Lives.

Be In A State Of Gratitude For Everything That Shows Up In Your Life. Be Thankful For The Storms As Well As The Smooth Sailing. What Is The Lesson Or Gift In What You Are Experiencing Right Now? Find Your Joy Not In What's Missing In Your Life But In How You Can Serve.

I Didn't Work Hard For Success. I Worked Hard Because That's What Is In Me. I Showed Up In This World Somehow Knowing That You Have To Work Hard. You Can't Just Have A Thought. You Have To Follow The Thought Through.

The Meaning Of Life Is To Get Meaning For Life.

Meaning Of Life

In The Retail Business, Many People Are Too Consumed With The Bottom Line. How Much Am I Going To Be Selling? Am I Going To Be Able To Do All The Things I Need To Get Done? Instead, If They Are At Peace And Feeling Good About Themselves - If They Are Treating Customers With Love And Acting As Statesmen And Stateswomen And People Who Are Connected To God In A Spiritual Sense - Then Every Day For Them Is A Real Joy.

If You Are What You Do, Then When You Don't, You Aren't.

Writing Isn't Something I Do, Writing Is Something That I Am. I Am Writing - It's Just An Expression Of Me.

Look Into A Mirror, Make Eye Contact With Yourself, And Say "i Love Me" As Many Times As Possible During The Day.

For Every Act Of Violence And Messiness There Are A Million Acts Of Kindness And Goodness. It Just Depends Where You Look. And When I Look Around At Virtually Anyone Or Anything On The Planet, I Can See Another Face Of Intention - Beauty.

We Spend A Big Hunk Of Our Lifetimes Contemplating What We Can't Have, What We Don't Want And What's Missing In Our Lives. What We Have To Learn Is To Put Our Attention And Focus On Contemplating What It Is We Would Like To Attract, And Not On What Is Missing.

Forget The Laws. If The Laws Don't Make Sense, If They Run Contrary To Your Conscience, You Have To Disobey Them.

As Joel Goldsmith Said, In The Presence Of The God Realized, The Laws Of The Material World Do Not Apply. That's Why People Who Live Steadfastly At A Place Of God-consciousness Can Perform Miracles. They Can Create. They Can Make Virtually Anything Happen. From The Space In-between, That Last Inch Is The Critical Inch You Have To Take To Reach That Place. Every Once In A While, I Get To That Place Of God-consciousness, And Miracles Do Happen.

The War In Iraq, Specifically America's Role Of Leadership In This War, Is A Painful Invitation To Ask Ourselves What, If Anything, We've Learned From Previous Wars. I Am Revolted By The Brutal Killing Of Hundreds Of Thousands Of Innocent People During Any War. And I'm Saddened By The Apparent Inability Of Human Beings To Find Less Violent Solutions To Conflict And Terrorism.

Expect The Best, Expect Divine Guidance, Expect Your Fortunes To Change, Expect A Miracle!

Divine Guidance

Your Reputation Is None Of Your Business.

None Of Your Business

After A While, We Start Really Believing These Things Are True. People Who Have Had Self-defeating Behaviors For A Long Time, Such As People Who Have Been Overweight Since They Were Children Or People With Longtime Addictions, Actually Believe There Is No Other Alternative.

The Most Profound And Important Thing A Person Can Do To Erase Fear And Access The Power Of Intention Is Repeating These Five Key Words: I Want To Feel Good! This Is The Same Thing As Saying, I Want To Be In Harmony With The Source Of Well-being.

Free Will Means That You Have The Choice To Connect To Spirit... Or Not.

Blame Is A Neat Little Device That You Can Use Whenever You Don't Want To Take Responsibility For Something In Your Life. Use It And You Will Avoid All Risks And Impede Your Own Growth.

Virtually Every Spiritual Tradition Teaches That Your Higher Self Is The Presence Of God Within You.

My Goodness, There's Nothing That Feels Better Than To Meditate, Than To Get Quiet, And Then To Be At Peace, And To Tell Someone You Love Them.

Someone You Love

Enjoying Life Is Far Superior To Being Graded On Your Performance In Life.

As You Think, So Shall You Be.

You Can Only Give Away What You Have Inside. Become An Instrument Of Love, Invite Love To Accompany You 24/7. Give Away Love, And It Has To Come Streaming Into Your Life.

Earth Is Heaven. Or Hell. Your Choice.

Everything Is Perfect In The Universe - Even Your Desire To Improve It.

It Is Very Hard To Enroll People In Anything. And There Is A Very Big Difference Between The Words Motivate And Inspire. Motivation Means We Have An Idea And We Are Going To Carry Through On That Idea. We Work Hard At It, And We Are Disciplined. A Highly Motivated Person Takes An Idea, Goes Out There, And Won't Let Anybody Interfere With Them. Inspiration Is Exactly The Opposite. If Motivation Is When You Get Hold Of An Idea And Carry It Through To Its Conclusion, Inspiration Is The Reverse. An Idea Gets Hold Of You And Carries You Where You Are Intended To Go.

You Can Make Your Life Into A Grand Ever-evolving Work Of Art. The Key Is Your Thoughts, The Wonderous Invisible Part Of You That Is Your Spiritual Soul.

Everything That Is Fear Cannot Be Love, And Everything That Is Love Cannot Be Fear.

You Must Attach Yourself Spiritually To What You Have Placed In Your Imagination As A Future Fact, And Never Allow Anyone, Anything, Any Circumstance, No Matter How Persuasive Their Case, To Alter What You Know To Be Your Destiny.

If You Don't Feel Fabulous, You Have Deviated From The Path Of Who-you-really-are.

Free Will Is Something That People Struggle With So Much, But It's Very Simple To Me. Carl Jung Said At The Same Moment You're A Protagonist In Your Own Life Making Choices, You Also Are The Spear Carrier, Or The Extra, In A Much Larger Drama. You've Got To Live With These Two Opposite Ideas At The Same Time.

Once You Believe In Yourself And See Your Soul As Divine And Precious, You'll Automatically Be Converted To A Being Who Can Create Miracles.

The Ability To Get To A Higher Level In Our Life Means That We Have To Generate The Energy To Be Able To Do So, And Generally, We Do That By A Fall. Spiritual Advances Are Almost Always Proceeded By A Fall Of One Kind Or Another.

Affirm: I Place No Limits And No Restrictions On All That I Intend To Accomplish And Become From Here On In.

The Activity Of Worrying Keeps You Immobilized.

By Choosing To Hang On To Your Corner Of Freedom In Even The Worst Situations, You Can Process Your World With The Energy Of Appreciation And Beauty, And Create An Opportunity To Transcend Your Circumstances.

Worst Situation

The Purpose Of Life Is To Be Happy. I Don't Think It's Any More Complicated Than That. It's Also Important Not To Interfere With Anybody Else's Right To Do The Same. We Just Need To Practice That. It's The Golden Rule.

So Many People Are Expecting A Miracle Instead Of Being A Miracle.

If All You Do Is Follow The Herd, You'll Just Be Stepping In Poop All Day

If You're Going To Change A Habit, You Must Be The Treatment.

Faith Is A Way Of Going Within And Creating A Sense Of Control Over One's Life At Any Given Moment.

Every Little Obstacle-every Fall You Have-is An Opportunity.

When I Was Growing Up, Everybody Smoked, Including Me. When I Was 14, I Started. We All Did It. That Was Just The Way It Was. And Nowadays There's A Stigma Attached To It. It's A Big Shift.

The Past Is A Trail You Leave Behind, Much Like The Wake Of A Speedboat. That Is, It's A Vanishing Trail Temporarily Showing You Where You Were. The Wake Of A Boat Doesn't Affect It's Course-obviously It Can't Since It Appears Behind The Boat. So Consider This Image When You Exclaim That Your Past Is The Reason You Aren't Moving Forward.

Even If You Are Loaded Down With Guilt About Everything You Did In The Past, You Still Are Experiencing The Guilt In The Moment.

Within You Is The Divine Capacity To Manifest And Attract All You Desire.

Once Your Thoughts Reflect What You Genuinely Wan To Be, The Appropriate Emotions And The Consequent Behaviour Will Flow Automatically. Believe It And You Will See It.

When You Squeeze An Orange, Orange Juice Comes Out, Because That's What's Inside. When You Are Squeezed, What Comes Out Is What Is Inside.

Your Higher Self Is Always Nudging You Toward A Resolution Of The Conflicts That You Experience In Your Life, So That You Will Have Room For Serenity And Harmony.

Say To Yourself When Someone Else Is Criticizing U, 'what U Think Of Me Is None Of My Business'

Whatever The Question, Love Is The Answer.

A Resolution To Exercise Or Eat More Nutritious Foods Is A Step Taking You Back To The Well-being From Which You Originated.

If You Desire Peace For Others, You'll Receive It.

We Have To Overcome Our Societal Conditioning Which Says We Are Unworthy.

Love Is The Ability And Willingness To Allow Those That You Care For To Be What They Choose For Themselves Without Any Insistence That They Satisfy You.

Self Improvement

When You're At Peace, There's No Counterfeit Freedom.

Be A Student. Stay Open And Willing To Learn From Everyone And Anyone. Being A Student Means You Have Room For New Input. When You Are Green You Grow, When You Are Ripe You Rot. By Staying Green You Will Avoid The Curse Of Being An Expert. When You Know In Your Heart That Every Single Person You Encounter In Your Lifetime Has Something To Teach You, You Are Able To Utilize Their Offerings In A Profound Way.

Amidst The Rush Of Worldly Comings And Goings, I Observe How All Endings Become Beginnings

When We Send Love In Response To Hate, We Become Spiritual Alchemists.

With Empathy You Know In Your Heart That It's Not A Sign Of Weakness To Attempt To Understand That The People We Call Terrorists Have Placed The Same Label On Us, And That The Use Of Force Will Create A Counter Force, A Never-ending Saga Of Killing And Hate. Ending War Involves Cultivating Empathy In Our Policies And The Love Of God In Our Hearts. As The Native Americans Reminded Us: No Tree Has Branches So Foolish As To Fight Among Themselves.

Native American

In Order To Forgive, You Must Have Blamed.

People Really Do Respect Those Who Are Willing To Speak Their Truth

Christ Wasn't Teaching People To Hate Jews. He Was A Jew Himself. He Wasn't Teaching People To Hate Anybody Who Didn't Believe As He Did.

There Is A Voice In The Universe Urging Us To Remember Our Purpose For Being On This Great Earth. This Is The Voice Of Inspiration, Which Is Within Each And Every One Of Us.

There's No Such Thing As A Bad Meditation. Any Time You Spend In Silence Is Valuable

Your Soul - That Inner Quiet Space - Is Yours To Consult. It Will Always Guide You In The Right Direction.

As A Holistic Being You Shatter The Illusion Of Your Separateness And Reveal Your Connection To Everything. This Empowers You In A Way That The Ego-driven Self Could Never Contemplate.

If You're Blaming Something Or Someone Else For The Way You Are, Then That Person, Those People, Those Circumstances Or Those Energies, Are Going To Have To Change In Order For You To Get Better; That's Most Likely Never Going To Happen. It's Also A Way To Manipulate Other People.

Feeling Unworthy Is Like Putting A Huge Obstacle Into The God Force, Into The Life Force Which Is Everywhere.

Try Squeezing A Handful Of Water, And See How Quickly It Disappears. But Relax And Let Your Hand Flow In The Same Water, And You Have The Experience Of The Water As Long As You Like.

You Can Either Be A Host To God, Or A Hostage To Your Ego!

It's Never Crowded Along The Extra Mile.

When You're Feeling Unwell, Remember That The Same Power That Actually Made Your Body Knows How To Restore It To Its Original State Of Well-being. All You Have To Do Is Remove The Obstacles Erected By You And Your Toxic World, And Allow This Healing Power To Flow Through You.

Know That Everything Will Happen At Just The Right Time, At Just The Right Place, With Just The Right People.

Extend Some Kind Of Unexpected Generosity To Someone, Preferably A Stranger, Every Single Day For Two Weeks. The More You Practice Being Generous, The More You'll Impact Others In An Inspiring Way.

Each Time You Send Love In Response To Hate, You Diffuse The Hate.

The Opposite Of Courage Is Not So Much Fear As It Is Conformity.

Rejoice In The Prosperity Of Others. When You Feel Contemptuous, Or Even A Twinge Of Jealousy, Toward The Accomplishments Or Life-styles Of Others, You Are Harboring Negativity Where Love Must Reside.

I Never Ever Felt That I Was Unfairly Treated.

The More We Give Away, The More Is Given To Us.

Service To Others

You Have Everything You Need For Complete Peace And Total Happiness Right Now.

You're Able To Love Others, To Give To Others, And Do For Others By Giving And Doing For Yourself First.

When You Live The Virtues - When You Live In That Place Of God-consciousness - All These Rules We Have About Cause And Effect, Beginnings And Ends, Don't Have Any Impact Or Relevance.

Beginnings And Ends

The Universe Provides Abundantly When You're In A State Of Gratefulness.

When You Abandon Making Choices, You Enter The Vast World Of Excuses.

Your Circumstances Do Not Determine What Your Life Will Be; They Reveal What Kinds Of Images You Have Chosen Up Until Now.

Solitude Can Become Your Most Meaningful Companion And It Can Assist You In Being A More Giving Person In Your Spiritual Partnerships. Rather Than Regarding Your Partner's Need For Time Alone As A Threat, See It As A Time Of Renewal That You Celebrate. Make Every Effort To Help Each Other Have That Space. Treat That Space As Sacred.

Research At The Subatomic Quantum Level Reveals An Invisible Connection Between All Particles And All Members Of A Given Species. This Oneness Is Being Demonstrated In Remarkable Scientific Discoveries. The Findings Show That Physical Distance, What We Think Of As Empty Space, Does Not Preclude A Connection By Invisible Forces. Obviously There Exist Invisible Connections Between Our Thoughts And Our Actions. We Do Not Deny This, Even Though The Connection Is Impervious To Our Senses.

By Surrendering, You Create An Energy Field Of Receptivity For The Solution To Appear.

You Do Not Fail In Life, You Only Produce Results, And You Have The Right To Learn And Grow From Any Results That You Produce.

Personal Growth

Most People Think That There Is A Monarchy, Where God Is The King And We Are The Subjects, And The Subjects Are Inferior To This Invisible King. But Not Only Are We Inferior, We Are Also Stained By Sin, And Therefore, Untrustworthy.

St John Of The Cross Told Us That If A Man Wishes To Be Sure Of The Road He Treads On, He Must Close His Eyes And Walk In The Dark. I Interpret That As A Direction For Us To Trust In The Guidance We Receive From Our Invisible Self.

Usually, Making Excuses Is Just Something We Can Get Away With, Rather Than Challenging Or Changing Ourselves. If You Want To Change And You Want Your Life To Work At A Level You've Never Had Before, Then Take Responsibility For It.

The Law Of Attraction Ensures That You Start Attracting More Of What You Want Into Your Life Instead Of What You Don't Want Or Instead Of What Always Has Been. The Highest Functioning People Never Even Put Their Energy On What Is If They Don't Like What Is. That's An Important Difference, Because Most People Who Have A Lot Of "problems" In Their Life Are Constantly Talking About Them And Focusing On Them, So They Just Keep Attracting More Of Those Circumstances Into Their Lives Because That's Where Their Thoughts Are.

Law Of Attraction

Don't Pole-vault Over Mouse Turds.

Destiny Is Not Preordained. Destiny Is Ordained Totally By You. Every Single Moment Of Your Now Existence Is The Result Of Your Previous Thought. The Idea That Everything Is Already Laid Out For You In Advance Is A Hallucination. You Can And Do Manifest Your Own Destiny.

The Only Thing You Can Do With Your Life Is Give It Away. The Best, Happiest Moments In Your Life Are Always When You're Giving Something Away.

If You Think About Shortages, You're Going To Attract More Shortage! If You Think About What's Missing, You're Going To Attract More Of What's Missing In Your Life.

Your Will Is The Ego Part Of You That Believes You're Separate From Others, Separate From What You'd Like To Accomplish Or Have, And Separate From God. It Also Believes That You Are Your Acquisitions, Achievements, And Accolades. This Ego Will Wants You To Constantly Acquire Evidence Of Your Importance... On The Other Hand, Your Imagination Is The Concept Of Spirit Within You. ...with Imagination, We Have The Power To Be Anything We Desire To Be.

In Order To Make A Visualization A Reality In The World Of Form, You Must Be Willing To Do Whatever It Takes To Make It Happen.

I Think It's Just Recognizing That Who You Are Is Not Any Of The Stuff That You Have. It's Not Any Of The Things Of The Ego. Coming To That Awareness Is A Very Hard Thing For Most People To Do - But That's An Excuse. If You Tell Yourself It's Too Hard, Then You Won't Take It On. But Right Now, For Most People, It's Almost An Impossibility To Do So, Because They're So Attached To "i Am What I Have"; "i Am What I Do"; "i Am What My Reputation Is"; Or "i Am All Of This Material Stuff."

The Biggest Questions That Always Have Perplexed Me Are "where Do I Come From?" And "where Am I Going?" The "where Do I Come From?" Question, Which I Think I Largely Am Answering Now, Is About What Quantum Physics Teaches Us. If You Try To Find Your Source, You Are Not Going To Find It In A Tiny Little Particle That Began With Your Parents Commingling.

If You Have Anything In Your Heart Other Than Love, You've Got To Get It Out.

There Is A Universal Intelligence That We Call God Or Soul Or Spirit Or Consciousness, And It Is Everywhere And In All Things.

Be What It Is That You Are Seeking.

Failing Is A Judgment That We Humans Place On A Given Action. Rather Than Judgment, Substitute This Attitude: You Cannot Fail, You Can Only Produce Results.

Conflict Is A Violation Of Harmony. If You Participate In It, You're Part Of The Problem, Not The Solution.

There Are No Justified Resentments.

It Makes No Sense To Worry About Things You Have No Control Over Because There's Nothing You Can Do About Them, And Why Worry About Things You Do Control? The Activity Of Worrying Keeps You Immobilized.

I Don't Think Goal Setting Is An Important Basis For A Retail Business - Or For Anyone. Most Of The Time Goal Setting Puts Too Much Energy And Attention On Being Someplace Else, Instead Of Helping You Appreciate Where You Are.if I Ran A Retail Store, Which I Have Done In My Life, I Would Go Into It From A Place Of "i Am Thrilled To Be Here, And I Am Honored To Be Able To Serve Other People." I Would Not Be Telling Myself Constantly That I Have To Double My Sales In Order For Me To Be Happy. I Would Tell Myself, "i Am Content To Be Here In This Moment, And I Love This Work."

Everything That Happens To Us Has A Blessing Built Into It.

It Is In The Contemplation Of What You Desire That You Create What It Is You Want For Yourself

Send Out Anger And Impatience, And That's What You'll Get. Send Out Love, And You'll Get Back Love.

Irving Wallace Wrote A Bestselling Novel, The Man, In The 1960s About A Black Man Becoming President Of The United States. We Thought That Such A Possibility Was Thousands Of Years In The Future. Some People May Still Have Some Difficulty With The Idea, But That's A Major Cultural Meme Shift.

There Is No Stress In The World, Only People Thinking Stressful Thoughts.

I Want To Have Thoughts Of Abundance. I Want To Have Thoughts Of Love, Of Kindness, Of Beauty.

But If We See Ourselves As Connected To God, Or As Reconnecting To Our Source Through Meditation, Then We Can Attract Anything We Want Into Our Lives.

You Create Your Thoughts, Your Thoughts Create Your Intentions, And Your Intentions Create Your Reality.

Once You Put Your Attention, Your Thoughts, Your Energy, Your Consciousness On A New Intention, That's What You Begin Manifesting Into Your Life. The Word "intention," I Believe, Is Really Important, Because It Doesn't Leave Any Room For Doubt Or Maneuvering: "i Intend To Create This In My Life Out Of The Circumstances That I'm Now Experiencing."

Forgive Yourself And Welcome Love Back Into Your Life.

Forgive Yourself

While The World Of Reality Has Its Limits, The World Of Your Imagination Is Without Boundaries

When You Are In-spirit (inspired) You Have No Need For The Ego.

Love Is Co-operation Rather Than Competition.

Self-worth Comes From One Thing - Thinking That You Are Worthy.

Needing Approval Is Like Saying 'your View Of Me Is More Important Than My Own Opinion Of Myself'.

All Your Behavior Results From The Thoughts That Precede It.

Discontinue Deciding What Anyone Else Should Or Shouldn't Be Doing.

Victor Hugo Said You Can Stop An Invasion Of Armies, But You Can Never Stop An Invasion Of Ideas. There's Nothing More Powerful Than An Idea Whose Time Has Come. It Wasn't Until 1920, Four Years After My Mother Was Born - And She's Still Alive And Healthy - That Women Were Given The Right To Vote. Now It's Hard Even To Imagine That For The Greater Part Of The History Of Our Country Fifty Percent Of The Population Was Not Allowed To Vote.

When You Move Into A Spiritual Approach To Life You Begin To See Yourself As Connected To Everyone And Everything, And Competition Is Replaced By Something Called Cooperation.

Imagine The Word Cancel Being A Huge Rubber Stamp In Your Mind. Stamp Cancel On Any Self-defeating Image You Place In Your Head, And Begin To Think In A Self-enhancing Way.

It Is Better To Be Kind Than Right.

A Higher Concept Of Yourself Involves Taking On New Truths And Shedding Your Old Views Of What You Can Achieve. This Is The Only Way You Can Achieve Your Desires.

You Must Send Blame Out Of Your Life For Any Conditions Of Your Life.

When I Was Asked To Make The Film, I Decided That It Was Like Taking On A New Career At The Age Of Sixty-eight. I've Never Acted Before. And Taking Direction Is Not Something I'm Very Good At. I've Always Known Who I Am And What I Was Going To Do, And I've Always Just Done It.

Tapping Into The Essence Of Originating Spirit, Emulating The Attributes Of The Creative Force Of Intention, And Manifesting Into Your Life Anything That You Desire That's Consistent With The Universal Mind.

Here's A Payoff For Everyone. The Reason We Hang On To Self-defeating Behaviors Is Because It's Easier Not To Take Responsibility.

It Is Easy To Love People When They Smell Good, But Sometimes They Slip Into The Manure Of Life And Smell Awful. You Must Love Them Just As Much When They Smell Foul.

Everyone In Life Does Exactly What They Know How To Do Given The Conditions Of Their Lives

Everyone And Everything That Shows Up In The World Of Form In This Universe Originates Not From A Particle, As Quantum Physics Teaches Us, But From An Energy Field. That Energy Field Can Be Called God, Soul, Spirit, Or Consciousness. It Looks A Certain Way, Sounds A Certain Way, And Feels A Certain Way. I Try To Stay In Harmony With What I Believe It Sounds And Feels Like.

Inside Of Us Is A Place That Is All-knowing, All Mighty, Which Is A Fragment Of God. Nourishing, Healing Elements With In Us. There Is A Spark In Each One Of Us.

When You Put A Great Big Obstacle (your Feeling Of Unworthiness), In Front Of A Running Stream, It's Not Like It's Going To Stop The Flow Of The Divine Force. The Divine Force Will Just Go Around Your Unworthiness And Flow Someplace Else.

Nor Can You Trust In God Because Everything That You Attempt To Trust Is Coming From Someone Who Is Not Trustworthy To Begin With. So Everything That You Think, Feel Or Act Upon Is Based Upon Coming From Someone Who Is Untrustworthy. Therefore, You'll Always Be Lost.

If You Change The Way You Look At Things, The Things You Look At Change.

You Don’t Need A Reason To Be Happy...your Desire To Be So Is Sufficient.

Radiate An Energy Of Serenity And Peace So That You Have An Uplifting Effect On Those You Come Into Contact With.

Vow To Seek A Calm Inner Response To The Circumstances Of Your Life

I Don't Think Goal Setting Is An Important Basis For A Retail Business. Most Of The Time Goal Setting Puts Too Much Energy And Attention On Being Someplace Else, Instead Of Helping You Appreciate Where You Are.

To Be Born Again Is To Let The Past Go, And Look Without Condemnation Upon The Present.

You Are A Divine Creation, A Being Of Light Who Showed Up Here As A Human Being At The Exact Moment You Were Supposed To. You Are The Beloved, A Miracle, A Part Of The Eternal Perfection.

Judgements Prevent Us From Seeing The Good That Lies Beyond Appearances.

Treat Yourself And Others With Kindness When You Eat, Exercise, Play, Work, Love, And Everything Else. When You Think, Feel, And Act Kindly, You Hasten Your Ability To Connect To The Power Of Intention.

The More You Extend Kindness To Yourself, The More It Will Become Your Automatic Response To Others.

Choosing To Be Kind Is Also A Choice To Make The Power Of Intention Active In Your Life. The Beneficial Effects Of Kindness On The Immune System And The Increased Production Of Serotonin Have Been Proven. Conversely, Unkindness Weakens The Body And Puts Us Into A State Of Dissonance. So Extend Acts Of Kindness; Ask For Nothing In Return.

Creativity Means Believing You Have Greatness.

Everything You're Currently Against Blocks You From Abundance.

It Is A Simple Procedure To Calculate The Number Of Seeds In An Apple. But Who Among Us Can Ever Say How Many Apples Are In A Seed?

I Think We Have A Free Will, And At The Same Moment We Don't. We Have To Live With That. It Doesn't Make Sense Intellectually, But That's Because Our Intellect Is Always Trying To Come Up With A Logical, Rational Explanation For Things. To Do That, It Puts Labels On Things. But Once You Label Something, You've Got Twoness. You've Got The Label, And You've Got What You're Labeling. And There Is Only Oneness In The Universe, Even Though We Artificially Believe In Twoness.

Throughout Our History, There Has Been A Long List Of Those We've Been Conditioned To Hate. The British, French, Spanish, Germans, Japanese, Russians, Communists, Northern Koreans, Vietnamese, Iranians, Taliban, And Both Northerners And Southerners In America Are Some Of The People We've Been Encouraged At Various Times To Call Enemies And To Hate. The List Is Long, And As Time Passes, Those We Were Assigned To Hate We Later Were Told Should Be Removed From Our Hate List. The Enemy Is Obviously Hatred Itself. Have Empathy For Your Assigned Enemy.

Our Beliefs Are The Invisible Ingredients In All Our Activities.

We Believe We Can't Attract To Ourselves What We Want Because We Think We Are Separate From God, And Whether We Are Able To Manifest Anything Is Dependent Upon Whether God Wants Us To Do That Or Not.

In Quantum Physics, The Study Of Material At The Subatomic Level, You Get Down To The Tiniest Levels. When They Take These Subatomic Particles, Put Them In Particle Accelerators And Collide Them, Quantum Physicists Discover There's Nothing There. There's No One Home - No Ghost In The Machine.

Give Thanks For All That Shows Up In Your Life Including The Stuff That You Perceive To Be Negative, The Things That You Wish Wouldn't Have Happened. Don't Take Anything Forgranted.

Now Is All We Have. Everything That Has Ever Happened To You, And Anything That Is Ever Going To Happen To You, Is Just A Thought.

Be Aware Of Your Infinite Connection To Your Source. Know That You're More Than An Encapsulated Collection Of Bones, Blood And Organs In A Skin And Hair Covered Body.

Self Confidence

Forgiveness Is The Most Powerful Thing You Can Do For Yourself On The Spiritual Path.

Without Exception, Begin Every Day Of Your Life With Gratitude.

Everything I Ever Worried About Turned Out Exactly As It Was Going To, Despite My Anxious Moments To The Contrary.

The Measure Of Your Life Will Not Be In What You Accumulate, But In What You Give Away.

Abundance And Prosperity

We Need To Start Thinking Collectively As A People About What We Should Be Looking At.

Discarding Doubt Is A Decision To Reconnect To Your Original Self.

If You're Always In A Hurry, Always Trying To Get Ahead Of The Other Guy, Or Someone Else's Performance Is What Motivates You, Then That Person Is In Control Of You.

What We Are Doing Is Deeply Unfair And A Profound Tragedy - What We're Doing In The Way Of Global Warming, What We're Doing To The Oceans - And None Of It Makes Any Sense To Me.

Remember, Purpose Is About Giving...all You Can Do With Your Life Is To Give It Away In The Service Of Others.

There's A Part Of You That You Can Get A Hold Of, And There's A Part Of You That You Can Never Get A Hold Of, And Those Are Opposite Things. Who Are You? Which One Are You? You Are Combinations Of Opposites.

What You See Is Evidence Of What You Believe.

...this Moment... Is The Only Physical Reality You Have.

If I Ran A Retail Store, Which I Have Done In My Life, I Would Go Into It From A Place Of "i Am Thrilled To Be Here, And I Am Honored To Be Able To Serve Other People."

I Will See It When I Believe It.

Do Not Abandon Trust When Your Ego Thinks Things Should Be Different Than They Are.

You Are A Holistic Being With Both Nondualistic Energy And The Energy Of The Physical Plane As A Part Of Your Being At Your Disposal.
