“Each day of your life you are sowing seeds that one day you must harvest. When you have come to truly understand this, you will take your satisfaction from your work and never from your harvest. For the sowing of the seed is all any of us does in this life.” ~ Uell Stanley Anderson, Three…
“It is said that the present is pregnant with the future.” ~ Voltaire But of course it is! Look back and you can see the pattern of conception-gestation–manifestation reflected in every aspect of your life. Notice how it starts in your imagination with an idea. The whole process may take minutes or decades — sometimes…
“I believe in the immortality of the soul because I have within me immortal longings.” ~ Helen Keller Every one of your longings that don’t manifest in this lifetime become immortal. Your deepest dreams and longings become embedded in your soul and will beckon until satisfied. It’s this beckoning that propels us through this life…
“Thought is pure energy. Every thought you have, have ever had, and ever will have is creative. The energy of your thought never ever dies. Ever.

“In surrender the head bends and meets the heart. The head that does not bend has no value, and the head that is stiff will have to bend sooner or later, either in surrender or in shame. The head that bends in surrender will never have to bend in shame.” ~ Sri Sri Ravi Shankar…
“Patience is the antidote to anger, a way to learn to love and care for whatever we meet on the path. By patience, we do not mean endurance — as in “grin and bear it.” In any situation instead of reacting suddenly, we could chew it, smell it, look at it, and open ourselves to…
“When you surrender your will, you are saying, “Even though things are not exactly how I’d like them to be, I will face my reality. I will look it directly in the eye and allow it to be here.” Surrender and serenity are synonymous; you can’t experience one without the other. So if it’s serenity…
“In life it’s like we’re blindfolded (at least our physical senses are), because we’re completely unable to see, hear, or touch life’s magic. Yet to live your life – to live the life of your dreams – the secret is knowing that there is so much more happening on our behalf than the five senses…
