If you go to a tree with an ax and take five whacks at the tree every day, it doesn't matter if it's an oak or a redwood eventually the tree has to fall down.

Most of life is on-the-job training. Some of the most important things can only be learned in the process of doing them. You do something and you get feedback - about what works and what doesn't.

If you really stop resisting someone or stop judging them or stop being afraid of them or stop imagining they're going to do something negative they haven't done yet, it changes the energetic field, it changes the relationship, and that person - not always, but often - will shift their behavior because of what you've done.

Most everything that you want is just outside your comfort zone. Everything you want is out there waiting for you to ask. Everything you want also wants you. But you have to take action to get it.

I used to define success as being able to produce any result you wanted, whether it was a relationship, weight-loss, being a millionaire, impacting the culture, changing society, whatever it might be, it might be homelessness, whatever, but lately I've realized that success is fulfilling your soul's purpose.
