Quote

One of the things I tell young people - and older people too - is that when things don't happen that you want, don't drown in discouragement. We say, Oh, this didn't happen, so nothing good will happen. Don't barricade yourself.

I think I have an awareness inside of me that we are all the same, that basically we are all part of that one heart. When I am with people, I feel there is a part of me that knows a part of them because we are beyond our personalities, our emotions, and our thoughts.

You wake in the morning and proclaim yourself to be the bearer of goodness. I will bring good. I will attract good. I will create good. Good things happen to me, and my life is good. You start to move into the track of goodness, and that becomes a place of abundance, a place of rest, a place of relaxation, and a place of trust.

Let's say you're auditioning for a part or you're going for a job you really want. You have to go in with a sense of self or you're not going to get the job. You need your ego to get what it is that you want to make things happen in your life.

We are not just these three-dimensional bodies walking around. Our unconscious communicates and other people pick it up and they come to our rescue, or a spirit comes to our rescue.

I say to this generation: We must encourage these kids. Tell them they are wonderful and capable. Be their cheerleader. And when they don't get what they want, say, Okay, sweetheart, yours is coming. Let's help you get it. Be there 100% for them.
