Bryant McGill, Simple Reminders: Inspiration for Living Your Best Life

"When you blame others, you are affirming that you have no power, and your existence is only a reaction to the power of others."

"Changing your mind can move you into another dimension. Passages materialize exposing a hidden world that was there all along."

"Real limitations can be reasonably challenged and expanded, but a hobbled mind is not going anywhere."

"Your life is always a perfect reflection of your state of heart and mind, and of your truest identity."

"There is a simple path to follow, that appears only when you calm your mind."

"Enjoyable social interaction, community and laughter has a healing effect on the mind and body."

"If you are pure in intention and in alignment with beauty and love, in body and mind, the highest levels of your spiritual self will subsume your weaknesses."

"The fulcrum of resistance is in your mind where you pit yourself against the weight of the external."

"Gentle walking is completely transformative for the body and mind."

"Finding beauty in the common is the sign of a gifted mind."

"The storm is out there and every one of us must eventually face the storm. When the storm comes, pray that it will shake you to your roots and break you wide-open. Being broken open by the storm is your only hope. When you are broken open you get to discover for the first time what is inside you. Some people never get to see what is inside them; what beauty, what strength, what truth and love. They were never broken open by the storm. So, don't run from your pain — run into your pain. Let life's storm shatter you."

"The beauty of being shattered is how the shards become our character and our marks of distinction. This is how we are refined by our pain. When the storm rips you to pieces, you get to decide how to put yourself back together again. The storm gives us the gift of our defining choices. You will be a different person after the storm, because the storm will heal you from your perfection. People who stay perfect and unblemished never really get to live fully or deeply. You will not be the same after the storms of life; you will be stronger, wiser and more alive than ever before!"

"You will be a different person after the storm, because the storm will heal you from your perfection."
