For so long, you relied on your head. Now it's time to make the shift-- the great leap into your heart.

Are you beginning to see how your head gets in the way? How it creates so much noise? The chatter, the limited vision, the fear?
Are you beginning to see how what you've relied on--your intellect, your assessments, and sometimes your logic---has complicated your life?

It isn't the head that sees clearly, nor does the head always see with love. Often, it sees with eyes of fear. The heart sees clearly. It balances the mind and emotions. It takes what's real and processes it into truth, then into action. It takes into account all that needs to be done, then draws a map, an itinerary, for how to accomplish that.

Yes, you say, but my head does that too. And then I don't need to feel ...

Your heart can do it better because it maps the way in love.

Learn to listen to your inner voice. Listen to your heart. It's your connection to God, to people, to the universe, and to yourself.

Melody Beattie


Receiving the Grace of God's love has nothing whatsoever to do with the conditions of our life. It has everything to do with the condition of our heart.

Mary Manin Morrissey


A deeper bonding with one's spirit and with others at an essence level is the spiritual opportunity of the new millennium, yet the first step is an inside job-starting with oneself. People have an innate desire to bond with others in the spirit of love, but an essential first step is rolling up our sleeves and applying some elbow grease toward managing attitudes and emotions that are not in line with our heart or authentic self. Then bonding becomes not an action you do but a way of being, the way of love.

Doc Childre


When overwhelmed with worry, a person may encounter a lot of scary thoughts coming at them all at once. Instead of getting upset, remember that these thoughts are exaggerated and are not based on reality. It is the fear behind the thoughts that gets us worked up. Ignore the fear behind these thoughts, and your worry decreases.

Stan Popovich


We are not on this planet alone, yet there are times when it's the loneliest place imaginable. Split the cloud of indifference that darkens the world and places its citizens out of each other's sight. One small gesture of acknowledgment brings one more person out of the shadows. It strengthens the bond of humanity.

Terri McPherson


The law of harvest is to reap more than you sow. Sow an act, and you reap a habit. Sow a habit and you reap a character. Sow a character and you reap a destiny.

James Allen


Be absolutely clear about who you are and what you stand for. Refuse to compromise.

Brian Tracy


Wherever you go, go with all your heart.

What is the difference between your experience of existence and that of a saint?

The saint knows that the spiritual path is a sublime chess game with God and that the Beloved has just made such a fantastic move that the saint is now continually tripping over joy and bursting out in laughter and saying, "I surrender!"

Whereas, my dear, I am afraid you still think you have a thousand serious moves.

Hafiz


"When we can open to all parts of ourselves and to others in the world, something quite extraordinary happens. We begin to connect with one another."

Joseph Goldsmith


The big question is whether you are going to be able to say a hearty yes to your adventure.

Joseph Campbell
