We only need so much to survive, but this world we live in tells us we need more stuff to be happy. We're inundated with our televisions, the Internet and advertising that says in order to be happy you have to have these things. When you say, 'Gimme, gimme, gimme,' you will always be in short supply.

You can't choose up sides on a round world.
-
I never sell a book. I sell myself. And the way to sell yourself is to be an instrument of love.
-
I always tell audiences when I talk about writing: Writing isn't something I do; writing is something that I am. I am writing - it's just an expression of me.
-
A mind at peace, a mind centered and not focused on harming others, is stronger than any physical force in the universe.
-
Simply put, you believe that things or people make you unhappy, but this is not accurate. You make yourself unhappy.
-
Writing is challenging work because it's so easy to get consumed with how it's going, what's going to happen to it, who's going to like or not like it. You want to get all of that stuff out of your head and just let the work flow.

One of the huge imbalances in life is the disparity between your daily existence, with its routines and habits, and the dream you have within yourself of some extraordinarily satisfying way of living.
-
Everything is perfect in the universe - even your desire to improve it.
-
Your life is like a play with several acts. Some of the characters who enter have short roles to play, others, much larger. Some are villains and others are good guys. But all of them are necessary; otherwise, they wouldn't be in the play. Embrace them all, and move on to the next act.

I think that cancer is a life form that exists out there, and it exists in us. I think even the concept of healing is a spiritual principle that we have to really look at. I think the word itself is something we ought to get rid of, because it implies that there is illness - that there is something wrong.
-
There is no scarcity of opportunity to make a living at what you love; there's only scarcity of resolve to make it happen.
-
When you are spiritually connected, you are not looking for occasions to be offended, and you are not judging and labeling others. You are in a state of grace in which you know you are connected to God and thus free from the effects of anyone or anything external to yourself.
-
My enthusiasm seems to cause my world to endlessly offer me cooperative, co-creating experiences. I'm willing and I'm eager, and not just about my writing - I feel the same way about staying in shape, enjoying my family, giving a lecture, or whatever it may be.
-
Trust and value your own divinity as well as your connection to nature. Seeing God's work everywhere will be your reward.
-
You cannot be lonely if you like the person you're alone with.
-
Within all of us is a divine capacity to manifest and attract all that we need and desire.
-
Never, and I mean never, allow anyone else's ideas of who you can or can't become sully your dream or pollute your imagination. This is your territory, and a 'Keep Out' sign is a great thing to erect at all entrances to your imagination.
-
By staying focused on what I intend to create, by believing that the universe is all-providing, and by knowing that I'm worthy of the unlimited beneficence of the Source of being, I just keep attracting prosperity to me.
-
People who want the most approval get the least and people who need approval the least get the most.
-
I have observed that society in general always seems to honor its living conformists and its dead troublemakers.
-
I know that I came into the world with what I call 'big dharma' - with a blueprint to teach self-reliance and a positive loving approach to large numbers of people all over the globe. I am ever so grateful for the circumstances of my life that allowed me to be pretty much left alone and to develop as I was so intended in this incarnation.
-
When your higher self is present, it always promotes peace.

It's never crowded along the extra mile.
