Share your heart with the world. Share willingly, openly,
joyfully what you have seen, what you have learned. Don’t tell people
how you think you should have handled things. That’s shame. It teachers
others to feel ashamed, too. Don’t tell people how you wish you had
handled things. That’s needless regret that we pass on to others.
Share honestly and openly about yourself, the way you felt, the things
you thought. Share how going through your experience changed you. Talk
about your resistance, your pain, the imperfect way you did things, the
way you handle things now.
Sharing honestly and openly teaches people around us the most helpful
truth – that the imperfect way we live our lives is right for us at the
time. When we love and accept ourselves enough to honestly share who we
are, it helps those we touch to believe that they’re good enough too.
Sharing your heart with the world and you will bring healing to those you touch.
– Melody Beattie
Problems cannot be solved at the same level of awareness that created them.
– Albert Einstein
…what I am proposing is that you open yourself to an idea that allows
you to gradually and steadily remember your identity as a divine
spiritual connected-to-God entity. In moments you previously labeled as
stressful or problematic, you will begin to see the fruits of good
deeds (another way of saying problem solving) show up without having to
labor long and hard to solve your difficulty.
– Wayne Dyer, There’s a Spiritual Solution to Every Problem
Spirituality is very similar to health. Everyone has health. For some
their health is excellent and for others it is poor, yet you cannot
escape having it at some level or another. The same is true for
spirituality. Every single human being is a spiritual being.
– Wayne Dyer, There’s a Spiritual Solution to Every Problem
We each journey on a path of mistakes. When I look back, I don’t have a
consistent interpretation of which acts were victories or defeats. And
I have seen the same childhood circumstances as both damaging and
beneficial. This much is clear: Many important gains have come on the
heels of my greatest mistakes. Progress is the process of correcting
mistakes, not of being perfect. Today I will make starting over more
important than looking back. Those who make no mistakes have already
arrived. I simply don’t know what mistakes anyone needs to make.
Therefore, I am in no position to be ‘helpful’.
– Hugh Prather, Morning Notes
God knows the way to my heart. God is not nearer because we think about
God. God could not be nearer. God’s strength is our strength. God’s
life is our life. God’s happiness is our happiness. We are each made
out of God. Even now, God breathes into us our purpose, our motivation,
and our fulfillment.
– Hugh Prather, Morning Notes
Negative emotions have a place in intimacy. They need to be released in
order to be detoxed. Having negative emotions doesn’t make us bade.
Thinking that they do is what keeps so many people from exposing their
emotions. It is when our feelings – all our feelings – are revealed
appropriately and then forgiven that we have a chance to heal.
– Marianne Williamson, A Year of Daily Wisdom
If you can recognize illusion as illusion, it dissolves. The
recognition of illusion is also its ending. Its survival depends on
your mistaking it for reality. In the seeing of who you are not, the
reality of who you are emerges by itself.
– Eckhart Tolle
