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

“When you learn to say yes to yourself, you will be able to say no to others, with 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.”

“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.”

“Do not resist events that move you out of your comfort zone, especially when your comfort zone was not all that comfortable.”

“When you finally give up striving, you will be left with what you have been striving for.”
