"How do we take something away? As we cultivate higher awareness, we begin to see just how much we have added things that really aren't there to our picture of reality. Our beliefs, concepts and emotions all add layers of meaning to physical reality, but that meaning exists for us only - it has no objective existence. For example, the word 'mother' has a complicated network of meaning for each of us."

"Become aware of how your beliefs and emotions colour your perception of different events in your life. See if you can begin to step out of your fabrications to experience the truth and spaciousness of what is."

-- John Robson

"I lived in solitude in the country and noticed how the monotony of quiet life stimulates the creative mind."

Reasons for Happiness and Unhappiness

"One of the reasons why happiness and unhappiness are so unpredictable is because they are mainly in your head.  To a large degree, happiness is a habit, and good habits have to be developed and cultivated.  To develop a good habit, or skill, you have to work at it, you have to practice it, and the same goes for happiness."

-- Barry Parker


"Stress, fear, negativity, too much to do and doing things for others at the expense of our own needs -- these all stifle our innate creativity. Relaxation, fun, meditation, and going after our dreams all get the creative juices flowing. Soul is always creative, always fresh and new."

-- John Robson

-- Jim Rohn


"Aiming thus at something else, they find happiness by the way."

-- John Stuart Mill

Everything in Your Life is There for a Reason

-- Jack Canfield

-- Margaret Wheatley

Be Mindful of What You Attract

"Our thoughts powerfully influence the programs of our unconscious mind and we must be mindful that we will attract what we think about. When we worry, we see fear-based images that powerfully influence our unconscious mind. But worrying isn't an effective way to deal with our problems; if it was, we could just sit down and worry till our problems disappeared!"

-- Gary Dooley


"Don't discard your fantasies as merely wishful thinking. Honor them as messages from the deepest part of your being about what you can do and directions you can choose."

Only You Know What Your Life Will Be

-- Sue Hadfield


"At any moment, you have a choice, that either leads you closer to your spirit or further away from it."
