The really potent part of love is that it allows you to carry around beliefs about yourself that make you feel special, desirable, precious, innately good. Your lover couldn't have seen [these qualities] in you, even temporarily, if they weren't part of your essential being.

When making a decision, focus on what feels shackles off versus shackles on.

Your individuality is the most valuable thing you have.

Standards of beauty are arbitrary. Body shame exists only to the extent that our physiques don't match our own beliefs about how we should look.

Question every thought that causes suffering and test it against your own sense of truth.

Don’t hide love. If you feel it, express it-not to demand that others love you back, but simply to live outwardly the best of what you feel inwardly. The worst that can happen to your heart is not rejection by another person but failure to act on the love you feel.

The shortness of life, which we all discuss, but which is very clear to me at the moment, makes keeping and spreading a joyful peace more crucial than ever before. Let us keep our minds on what matters, which is our work, which is astonishment and gratitude. From this quiet magic comes a power for all other new years wishes to come true.

It's only by starting in a place of peace that we find our purpose and power.

Having fun is not a diversion from a successful life it is the pathway to it.

Image
If you think there is no action that you can perform in your current circumstances that will increase the supply of love in the world, you are believing a lie. At the very least, you always have the option to offer yourself kindness and understanding. That alone can increase the supply of love in the world.

To be really productive, it's as important to rest when we're tired as it is to work when we're inspired.

The repercussions of one person living in stubborn gladness are incalculable.

Most people go through their whole lives, John went on, and never have one miracle happen to them. You've had dozens and dozens, and you still want more! It's like God gives you a brownie, I mean a really good brownie, but you can't be content with it. You want the whole pan of brownies. Nobody gets that.

To make an activity joyful, keep adding things until the activity as a whole becomes more appealing than repulsing.

The difference between success and failure isn't the absence of fear but the determination to pursue your heart's desires no matter how scared you are.

Any moment you spend attacking yourself is a moment away from your higher purpose and your power to love. Don't go there.
