Confusion As You Walk Through Life

"Allow yourself confusion as you walk through life.  It is our way of sorting things out.  It is through confusion that we finally come to clarity.  When you can find the good in any decision you make, it's much easier to accept the responsibility for making it!"

-- Susan Jeffers


"It is one of the unexpected disasters of the modern age that our new unparalleled access to information has come at the price of our capacity to concentrate on anything much."

-- Wei Wu Wei

Towards Greater Happiness

"Greater happiness is created by directing the energy of love towards ourselves and others. Love of self, love of life, and love of others awakens an energy that lifts us above the fears and limitations of our negative thoughts. The energy of love connects us all, and when we start to look for it in the world around us we discover an abundance of it within ourselves."

-- Gary Dooley

All Thoughts Are Magnetic in Nature

"Tell yourself, "There IS a way." All thoughts are magnetic. As soon as you tell yourself, "I'm beaten. There's no way to conquer this problem," negative thoughts are attracted, and each of these helps convince you that you are right, that you are whipped. Believe instead, "There is a way to solve this problem," and positive thoughts rush into your mind to help you find a solution. It's believing "there is a way" that is important."

-- David Joseph Schwartz


"Wrinkles should merely indicate where smiles have been."

-- Mark Twain


"Neither fire nor wind, birth nor death can erase our good deeds."

-- Jack Kornfield

Powerful Commands to Your Subconscious Mind

"Acting as if sends powerful commands to your subconscious mind to find creative ways to achieve your goals. It programs the reticular activating system (RAS) in your brain to start noticing anything that will help you succeed, and it sends strong messages to the universe that this end goal is something you really want."

-- Jack Canfield


"The only real security in life lies in relishing life's insecurity."

The One Skill For Abundance Life

"The one skill most responsible for the abundance in my life is learning how to effectively set and achieve goals.  Something almost magical happens when you organize and focus your creative power on a well-defined target.  The highest achievers in the world have all succeeded because they mapped out their visions."

-- Darren Hardy


"WE SEEK TO CONTROL OUR LIVES WHEN WE DO NOT TRUST, WHEN WE DO NOT LOVE. Our ego, perceiving itself to be vulnerable and insecure, uses control in an effort to protect itself.

At the root of our need to control, we find FEAR. It may be fear of the unknown. Fear of not coping. Fear of loss. Or possibly even fear of looking stupid. And as our efforts to control other people and events invariably fail, our fear increases.

Trust, on the other hand, is a quality of the soul. While control is a tool of the mind, TRUST AND FAITH ARE ASPECTS OF THE HEART. Trust comes with the deep knowing that we are spiritual beings in physical bodies. When we trust enough in life to give up our need to control, we can relax and open to the flow of energy in our lives. This brings peace of mind."

-- John Robson

Tell Yourself Failure Is Impossible

"Do not abandon trust when your ego thinks things should be different than they are."

-- Wayne Dyer

The Death Of Fear

"Make it a habit to do the things you fear, and the death of fear is certain.  As your level of courage and confidence increases, your fears and doubts will decrease.  The more you confront your fears and eliminate them, the stronger and more confident you will feel.  Your self-esteem and self-respect will rise."

-— Brian Tracy


"The key to success, the key to happiness, is opening your mind and your heart to love."

-- John Legend


"America is the land of the second chance - and when the gates of the prison open, the path ahead should lead to a better life."

-- George W. Bush

What Do You Really Really Want

"Take time to think about what you really want in life, not what others would have you want.  'What do I want?' is a question we need to ask ourselves constantly.  Wants change as we learn to find the power and love within."

-- Susan Jeffers


"Anger and hatred are the real enemies that we must confront and defeat, not the "enemies" who appear from time to time in our lives."

The Only Adviser You Will Ever Need

"Meditation is simply a way to transcend the confines of the ego mind to find happiness in stillness and peace – what we really are at source. You won’t need the advice of an expert or guru; in fact, as with all internal aspects of your being, you are the only adviser you will ever need."

-- Gary Dooley


"And yet, ironically, we always fear and resist opening to that which is most real in us. When we trust in the process and give ourselves over to it, however, our true nature comes forth. The result is real integrity, love, authenticity, creativity, understanding, guidance, joy, power, and serenity-all of the qualities we are forever demanding that personality supply."

-- Don Richard Riso and Russ Hudson

Success Isn't Overnight

"You know that success isn't easy or overnight.  You understand that when you're committed to making moment-to-moment positive choices (despite the lack of visible or instant results), the compound effect will catapult you to heights that will astound you, bewilder your friends, family and your competition."

-- Darren Hardy


"The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy."
