Snips

If we wish to support and restructure our global community in genuinely new and liberating ways, we cannot do so just by the decree of manmade law. Instead, we have to start closer to home, with ourselves, our personal integrity, our own energy. In other words, we have to become ourselves, whole and healthy individuals. We have to think for ourselves, wean ourselves away from undue outside influence, take good care of ourselves emotionally and physically, and follow our purpose in life - and we have to be open and intuitively grasp the particular strands of universal law that apply in a given situation.
Janeanne Narrin

Listen. Trust. Empower the good in your life by paying attention to what you want and need. Write it down. Affirm it mentally. Pray about it. Then, let it go. Give it to God, and see what happens. The results may be better than you think.
Melody Beattie

"Or is that too much work, to think before you speak? For some people, it is. It's a lot of work. For all of you who want to walk a spiritual path, I suggest you stop and take a look at all the things you think and all the assumptions that you make... before you speak. Try some discipline and see if you can, for a whole week, just watch your thoughts."
Hinono

However many holy words you read, however many you speak, what good will they do you if you do not act upon them?
Buddha

"Everyone wants to be able to trust their relationships. We want to trust our partners, children, friends - those we're close to. But the funny thing about trust is that even a small breach can cause separation between family members, friends or business partners, that often lasts for years - or forever.
Trust is loaded when we put others in a box made of our expectations. It sets up for disappointment and hurt. Trust is really an inside job. As we build trust in our own heart we become secure in ourselves. Then we can enjoy people without being so desperate about trusting them."
