The really potent part of love is that it allows you to carry around beliefs about yourself that make you feel special, desirable, precious, innately good. Your lover couldn't have seen [these qualities] in you, even temporarily, if they weren't part of your essential being.

The glory of friendship is not the outstretched hand, nor the kindly smile, nor the joy of companionship; it is the spiritual inspiration that comes to one when he discovers that someone else believes in him and is willing to trust him with his friendship.

           Practice isn't the thing you do once you're good. It's the thing you do that makes you good.

Maturity includes the recognition that no one is going to see anything in us that we don't see in ourselves. Stop waiting for a producer. Produce yourself.                                                                                                                            Marianne Williamson

The question for each woman to settle is not what she would do if she had means, time, influence and educational advantages; the question is what she will do with the things she has.

Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of other's opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.
                                                                                           --Steve Jobs

Just as we plant a seed and walk away from it, nature takes it up
and the law of its own evolves it,
so let us believe the same ting about our word--
something takes it up, something evolves it,
and something will make it manifest in our experience.

When you KNOW rather than BELIEVE, you will discover the necessary abilities to carry out your purpose.  Beliefs are handed to you, hence they are received with some doubt.  Knowing comes from within.

Have the courage to follow your passion--and if you don't know what it is, realize that one reason for your existence on earth is to find it.  It won't come to you through some special announcement or through a burning bush.  Your life's work is to find your life's work--and then to exercise the discipline, tenacity, and hard work it takes to pursue it.  How do you know whether you're on the right path, with the right person, or in the right job?  The same way you know when you're not: You feel it.  Each of us has a personal call to greatness--and because yours is as unique to you as your fingerprint, no one can tell you what it is . . . Pay attention to what makes you feel energized, connected, stimulated--what gives you your juice.  Do what you love, give it back in the form of service, and you will do more thank succeed. You will triumph.

It's not easy being grateful all the time.  But it's when you feel least thankful that you are most in need of what gratitude can give you: perspective.  Just knowing you have that daily list to complete allows you to look at your day differently, with an awareness of every sweet gesture and kind thought passed your way.  When you learn to say thank you, you see the world anew.  And as Meister Eckhart so eloquently stated: "If the only prayer you ever say in your whole life is 'Thank you,' that would suffice."

The important thing is not to be bitter over life's disappointments. Learn to let go of the past... and recognize that everyday won't be sunny. And when you find yourself lost in the darkness and despair... remember it's only in the black of night you can see the stars, and those stars will lead you back home. So don't be afraid to make mistakes, to stumble, to fall, cause most of the time the greatest rewards come from doing the things that scare you the most. Maybe you'll get everything you wish for... Maybe you'll get more than you ever could have imagined... Who knows where life will take you. The road is long and in the end... the journey is the destination.

There is more in us than we know.  If we can be made to see it, perhaps, for the rest of our lives, we will be unwilling to settle for less.
