Self-help

"There is an opportunity cost in every action."

"Holding onto anger is like carrying a bucket of poison. Every step you walk, it splashes onto yourself and others. When you finally reach the one who deserves it, you have poisoned yourself and many other innocent people."

"Horror. I can't manage it. I become--well--horrified. Self-help books have a similar effect. When asked, "Any literary genre you simply can't be bothered with" - (By the Book: Writers on Literature and the Literary Life from the NYT Book Review, by Pamela Paul)"

"People seek light in the external darkness Not knowing that the Light is within. Close your physical eyes and see with your inner vision. Open your eyes and see what before was invisible to you."

"May God’s grace abound to you for every good work."

"Keep exploring, you will discover new path."

"The thing is, I'm not the only one this consciousness stuff is happening to."

"Images have enormous power, and images freed from deep within ourselves can change us profoundly."

"Healing can be a long and winding road or a straightforward march to the finish line."

"...in the lower self, love is neediness, “chemistry” or infatuation, possession, strong admiration, or even worship—in short, traditional romantic love. Many people who grew up in troubled homes and who experienced a stifling of their Child Within become stuck at these lower levels or ways of experiencing love."

"The observer self, a part of who we really are, is that part of us that is watching both our false self and our True Self. We might say that it even watches us when we watch. It is our Consciousness, it is the core experience of our Child Within. It thus cannot be watched—at least by anything or any being that we know of on this earth. It transcends our five senses, our co-dependent self and all other lower, though necessary parts, of us. Adult children may confuse their observer self with a kind of defense they may have used to avoid their Real Self and all of its feelings. One might call this defense “false observer self” since its awareness is clouded. It is unfocused as it “spaces” or “numbs out.” It denies and distorts our Child Within, and is often judgmental."

"Healing is achieved through turning on the light of your soul and allowing it to shine."

"Healing is not a ‘black and white’ process, it’s not even a ‘grey’ process, it more like a; ‘pinky, yellowy, orangy, greeny, bluey and purply’ process with a hint of ‘gold and silver’ and a huge jar of ‘faith"

"To give up power to change for the better is inherently distasteful to everyone, and to force people to affirm that they are addicts or alcoholics so they can speak in a meeting is shameful and demoralizing."

"We have to walk by faith to possess all that is duly ours."

"Hope is firm belief."

"Love, above all things, is a commitment to your choice."

"Discovering the truth of who you are is the only way to love and care for yourself."

"Although others can devalue who we are and what we do it is entirely up to us, whether we accept or reject it. Whenever we disagree with the offered opinion we can thank for it and then move on. There is no need to prove at all that we have a different perception of ourselves from what we are being offered."

"Focus on keeping faith and growing your roots of light so strong and deep that no one, not even yourself, can make you believe something about yourself that is not good for your soul."
