"Before you can do something, you must first be something."

"What is normal for you is enthusiasm. What is normal for you is laughing a lot . . . many, many times a day. Feeling strong and secure. Feeling so much self-confidence, so sure about who you are, that when you look at others, you're always in a position to uplift them. What is normal for you is to have so much energy that at the end of the day, you are still looking for things to do. Having such a passion for life that you're eager to get together with other people to hear about what they're doing - to see if it's anything you might want to turn a little of your attention to. To have so much energy at the end of the day, that you're already eagerly planning tomorrow. Feeling disappointed that the sun goes down and enthusiasm that the sun comes up. What is normal is a zest for life beyond anything that most of you . . . have remembered or felt in a long, long time."
     -Esther Hicks

"When you come to the end of all the light you know, and it's time to step into the darkness of the unknown, faith is knowing that one of two things shall happen: Either you will be given something solid to stand on or you will be taught to fly."
     -Edward Teller

"May there be peace within you today. May you trust that you are exactly where you are meant to be. May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith in yourself and others. May you use the gifts that you have received, and pass on the love that has been given to you. May you be content with yourself just the way you are. Let this knowledge settle into your bones, and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise and love. It is there for each and every one of us."
     -Unknown

"Slight shifts in imagination have more impact on living than major efforts at change."
     -Thomas Moore

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, Our presence automatically liberates others."
     -Marianne Williamson

"When you do things from your soul, you feel a river moving in you, a joy."

"I would maintain that thanks are the highest form of thought, and that gratitude is happiness doubled by wonder."
     -G. K. Chesterton
