Quotes

“And that’s what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wanted to take people higher, the way artists did, and philosophers. I fell in love with the thought that a human life could be a priestly conduit, a connecting link between earth and sky. It didn’t matter, then, whether we were artists, philosophers, teachers or rabbis. What mattered was that we laid down our ego lives, that we might be used as some sort of highway to
a life that lay beyond all this.

And as I grew and as I stumbled and, most important, as I began to love and be loved I realized that the ultimate priest is the lover inside us, and the ultimate priesthood is the role of friend and loved one.

In the priestly role, we hold a space within us for the splendor of life and the splendor of people. And then, when we are present, the people around us can see more clearly what is possible for them and possible for all of us.”

~Marianne Williamson~

“Friends are those rare souls who ask how you are, and then wait to hear the answer.” 

~ Ed Cunningham~

“What lies before us and what lies behind us are small matters compared to what lies within us. And when we bring what is within out into the world, miracles happen.”

~ Henry David Thoreau~

What you love you empower
And what you fear you empower
And what you empower you attract!

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us.

We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn’t serve the world. There’s nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you.

We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It’s not just in some of us; it’s in everyone.

And as we let our own light shine, we subconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we’re liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.

~Marianne Williamson~

The remarkable thing is we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past. We cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude. I am convinced that life is 10 percent what happens to me and 90 percent how I react to it. We alone are in charge of our attitudes. Today is a new day. Choose your attitude, and make it a good one! 

~Charles Swindoll~

Joy is a state of being that enters your heart when you are open to learning and taking loving care of yourself. Joy is the feeling of exuberance and oneness that envelopes you once you have opened to feeling your pain, learning from it, and moving through it.

Success is a bad teacher.

“When you walk to the edge of all the light you have and take that first step into the darkness of the unknown you must believe that one of two things will happen: there will be something solid for you to stand upon or, you will be taught how to fly”
