“No matter where you are or what you may be, no matter how much you have lost or how little you have gained, no matter how far you many think yourself to be from the heights you have set for yourself or feel that God has set for you, the power to BECOME is your divine inheritance. You can overcome, you can succeed, you can be healed – if you believe in your divinity, bless it, act as if it were the real and true of you and keep on in the effort to “open out a way whence the imprisoned splendor may escape.”

Eric Butterworth, in “Discover the Power Within You”

“This is something you must understand: YOUR WHOLE LIFE IS A TEACHING. Everything that you think, say, and do instructs another. Do you imagine that others do not know what you are thinking? Is it your idea that they are not listening to what you are saying? Are you hoping that they are not watching what you are doing?

Young people, especially, are eager to learn about life, and they learn the most about life from LIFE ITSELF. And they intuitively know this. That is why they observe so closely. Young people miss nothing. You think you are kidding them? Think again.

They see the fear. They see the anger. They see the hypocrisy. They see the saying of one thing and the doing of another. And yes, they even know pretty much of what you are thinking. More than you think they know.”

God, as spoken to Neale Donald Walsch, in “The New Revelations”

“The heart has a language all its own. To speak from the heart in the next minute is to communicate from a place of love, truth, and beauty. But for many, the heart may be hidden and locked away behind a wall. To reveal the heart and its desires can be scary, yet to live without giving voice to the heart is like being mute and lost in the darkness. Open the heart, and we find not only help for ourselves, but also the capacity to help others and share intimacy.

We would all do well to remember the one-minute mindfulness message that spiritual teacher Frank Coppieters shares when he writes, “Listen to what the heart has to say…it speaks in parables, songs, and visions. It gives you the courage to accomplish anything you desire. Such courage comes in spite of conditioning and can be experienced in this moment. Listen…the heart never lies.”

Have you listened to your heart lately?”

Donald Altman, in “One Minute Mindfulness”

“The school of life is one of experience and distilling what we learn from it into wisdom. Therefore, what is truly important in a soul’s education is not what we are born into – our heredity, gender, environment, religion, or socioeconomic status – or what happens to us in life. It is in HOW WE CHOOSE to respond to whatever happens in our life, in whatever condition we find ourselves, that we gain our immortal wisdom and everlasting freedom, and reveal the true worth of our soul.”

Michael J. Tamura, in “You Are the Answer”

“You cannot help the world by focusing on the negative things. As you focus on the negative events of the world, you not only add to them, but you bring more negative things into your life at the same time. When the pictures have appeared of something you do not want, it is your cue to change your thinking and emit a new signal. If it is a world situation, you are not powerless. You have all the power. Focus on everybody being in joy. Focus on abundance of food. Give your powerful thoughts to what is wanted. You have the ability to give so much to the world by emitting feelings of love and well-being, despite what is happening around you.”
