“If you look around you at the physical universe, you will see that it's nature is growth. Everything from the cells in your body to the planets orbiting the sun are constantly growing, constantly changing, constantly evolving. Nothing stays still. Nothing remains the same. So think about it - why would your life be the exception? Why would you be the only thing that exists in all of creation whose purpose isn't to grow?”

“The more anger towards the past you carry in your heart, the less capable you are of loving in the present.”

“You never lose by loving. You always lose by holding back.”

“The real act of marriage takes place in the heart, not in the ballroom or church or synagogue. It's a choice you make - not just on your wedding day, but over and over again - and that choice is reflected in the way you treat your husband or wife.”

“We don't develop courage by being happy every day. We develop it by surviving difficult times and challenging adversity.”

“We need to find the courage to say no to the things and people that are not serving us if we want to rediscover ourselves and live our lives with authenticity.”

“Difficult times always create opportunities for you to experience more love in your life.”

“In order to experience everyday spirituality, we need to remember that we are spiritual beings spending some time in a human body.”

“When you make a commitment to a relationship, you invest your attention and energy in it more profoundly because you now experience ownership of that relationship.”

“Women need real moments of solitude and self-reflection to balance out how much of ourselves we give away.”

“No one is in control of your happiness but you; therefore, you have the power to change anything about yourself or your life that you want to change.”
