“I know I've said this before, but itcan't be said enough -- you reallymatter. Not just to me, but to thisplanet at this time.Don't ever forget that. As you do theinner work and have breakthroughs,you are literally changing humanconsciousness -- it's all connected.Every time you have an ‘Ah-Ha’ or growthrough something and are lifted, youare lifting someone somewhere in theworld -- or many people. Not tomention those closest to you.You really are God's gift to the world.Stay Inspired, Derek”

“The fact that you already have it all within you doesn’t mean you shouldn’t go to school, learn your craft, read books, or go to workshops. Just remember that all you’re really doing is using other people and things to remind you of what you already know. And you don’t have to wait until you know “enough” before you go for it and become successful.”

“But the meaning of these events is not that you are being punished or that someone is to blame, it is that you are living in a world too small, and that you must open up to a larger vision. As the gospel of Thomas says, “If you bring forth what is within you, it will save you. If you do not bring forth what is within you, it will destroy you.” Look within and Stay Inspired. Derek Rydall”

“You’re no different. You came into this world as an answer to a prayer, a solution to a need. If there was no need for you, you never would’ve shown up. The fact that you were born is the guarantee that you have a reason for being here. There’s something you came to give — a gift, a talent, a message, a meaning. The world needs you to be you.”

“Instead of doing ‘Af-for-mations’ where you are praying FOR something, do ‘Af-FROM-mations’ where you are praying FROM the realization that you already are whole and complete and already have everything within you.”

“A vision without a plan is fantasy. A plan without a vision is mediocrity.  Believing 'God will do it for you' is magical thinking. Believing you can do it yourself is the ultimate arrogance. Plan your life as if you're doing the work -- but live your life as if God is.”

“Failures give us wisdom. Your failures are just as valuable and rich with blessings. But you must be willing to contemplate them, ask what lesson they have for you, and apply it the next time around.”
