Don’t be afraid to let go of this acquired, invented identity; this false feeling of ‘I.’ That is like being afraid to let go of a headache. That is what the imaginary ‘I’ is—one great big headache. ~Vernon Howard

In the process of examining our everyday lives, we can find that all of our fears have been based on falsehood. The displacement of the false by the true is the essence of the healing of all things visible and invisible. ~David R. Hawkins

Man may have faith in every god, yet if he has no faith in himself he is doomed. ~Swami Vivekenanda

It is the tremendous experience of becoming conscious, which nature has laid upon mankind, and which unites the most diverse cultures in a common task. ~C.G. Jung

Alright, the secret of happiness is simple: find out what you truly love to do and then direct all of your energy towards doing it. ~Robin Sharma

When you get distracted by things you don’t control, your performance suffers. We have limited energy, attention, and resources—so put them where they can actually make a difference. ~Alan Stein Jr.

You can’t find your voice if you don’t use it. ~Austin Kleon

When force of circumstance upsets your equanimity, lose no time in recovering your self-control, and do not remain out of tune longer than you can help. Habitual recurrence to the harmony will increase your mastery of it. ~Marcus Aurelius

To forgive is the highest, most beautiful form of love. In return, you will receive untold peace and happiness. ~Robert Muller

The most important decision we make is whether we believe we live in a friendly or hostile universe. ~Albert Einstein

Constant change is the nature of the universe.

Too many people ignore their authority and personal power.

Your emotions will change quickly, are mostly informative, and ultimately aren’t about who you really are.

Growing into the person you’re meant to be starts with clearing out what’s preventing it.

We grow each time we dissolve another barrier we’ve erected between ourselves and the rest of the universe.

The real question isn’t what to do to feel more powerful, but what you’d do with your power if you recognized it.

All methods for spiritual growth involve letting go of what’s untrue about you.

Critical parents raise emotionally avoidant children.

Difficult relationships teach us the most about ourselves.

The only meaningful personal work any of us have is becoming more authentic.

As we release attachments to our emotional drama we regain our freedom.

You can’t imagine or visualize yourself out of your self-limiting beliefs.

Love is the flow of life. Or maybe the flow of the universe.

Your needs matter. How they’re met doesn’t.

Children internalize the emotional climate of their parents’ relationship.

Constricting the flow of love makes you ill. Reopening the flow of love restores your health.

Your mind can’t tell what’s true. Your most painful beliefs are all based on falsehoods.

Getting older doesn’t make you an adult. You become an adult by releasing your childish emotional habits.

The sadness you haven’t resolved colors all of your experiences sad.

Stuck energy manifests in your body as tumors, ulcers, and arterial plaque.
