Remember this:
“Everyone we meet, every situation we find ourselves, represents a lesson that will teach us how to take our next step forward in the actualization of our selfhood. Everything that happens is part of a mysterious educational process in which we’re subconsciously drawn to the people and situations that constitute our next assignment. With every lesson we’re challenged to go deeper, become wiser and more loving. And whatever our next step is, the lesson awaits us wherever we are.”
Excerpt from “The Gift of Change”

Notes"you yourself are the central avenue for change in this world. do you wish for there to be no war? then eliminate any trace of violence in yourself. do you want the world to be more ethical? then develop a code of behavior and become an exemplar of that code. do you want the world to be more compassionate to the downtrodden? show us how it is done. this is the behavior of one who is on the path toward becoming a being of light. this is the path we are all called to live."max strom (via julialeeyoga)

Notes"I change my life when I change my thinking.
I am Light. I am Spirit.
I am a wonderful, capable being.
And it is time for me to acknowledge
that I create my own reality with my thoughts.
If I want to change my reality,
then it is time for me to change my mind."Louise L. Hay (via shaktilover)

Notes"“There is a vitality, a life force, a quickening that is translated through you into action, and because there is only one of you in all time, this expression is unique. And if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium and be lost, the world will not have it.
It is not your business to determine how good it is, nor how valuable it is, nor how it compares with other expressions. It is your business to keep it yours clearly and directly, to keep the channel open. You do not have to believe in yourself or your work. You have to keep open and aware directly to the urges that motivate you. Keep the channel open.
No artist is pleased…there is no satisfaction whatever at any time.
There is only a queer, divine dissatisfaction; a blessed unrest that keeps us marching and makes us more alive than the rest.”
"~Martha Graham to Agnes DeMille

Quote
"Miracles mean that at any moment we can begin again. No matter what the problem, as long as we return our minds to a graceful position now, the universe will always help us clean up the mess and start over. To repent means to think again. In every area, the universe will support us to the extent that we support it."
‘A Return to Love’ by Marianne Williamson

Notes"When we meet anyone, remember it is a holy encounter. As you see him, you will see yourself. As you treat him, you will treat yourself. As you think of him, you think of yourself. Never forget this, for in him you find yourself or lose yourself."A Course in Miracles

Notes"Something amazing happens when we surrender and just love. We melt into another world, a realm of power already in us. The world changes when we change. The world softens when we soften. The world loves us when we choose to love the world."Marianne Williamson

Prayer
Every day I want to speak with you. And every day something more important /
calls for my attention — the drugstore, the beauty products, the luggage /
I need to buy for the trip. /
Even now I can hardly sit here /
among the falling piles of paper and clothing, the garbage trucks outside /
already screeching and banging. /
The mystics say you are as close as my own breath. /
Why do I flee from you? /
My days and nights pour through me like complaints /
and become a story I forgot to tell. /
Help me. Even as I write these words I am planning /
to rise from the chair as soon as I finish this sentence.-Marie Howe
