“It is not insult from another that causes you pain. It is the part of your mind that agrees with the insult. Agree only with the truth about you, and you are free.”

“Anything you believe you have to do or become before you can be free is a denial and distraction from the truth that you are already free.”

“Keep memories of insult on a short leash, and memories of blessing on a long one.”

“When you protect yourself from pain, be sure you do not protect yourself from love.”

“Those who love you are not fooled by mistakes you have made or dark images you hold about yourself. They remember your beauty when you feel ugly; your wholeness when you are broken; your innocence when you feel guilty; and your purpose when you are confused.”

“Take care what words you speak that follow “I am.” In so speaking you create your life.”

“View the past as your enemy, and it will be an albatross. View it as your friend, and it will give you wings.”
