You are not defining your purpose — your purpose is defining you.

Let truth, beauty and love be your guide.

The Beautiful Path is not a place outside of yourself, but rather a place you carry within you everywhere you go.

Your true purpose is to become your own unique self, and to do so with happiness and freedom from fear.

One of the fastest ways you can profoundly change your life is to rid yourself of toxic people.

We must remember that nature is the supreme cradle of life, and must be protected and treated with the highest respect and care.

Crossing the Rubicon of absolute pain is the only journey of purpose and meaning in life.

Become an ambassador of peace in your own life.

We fake perfect so others don’t have to experience any unpleasant realities, because their life is just as fake as ours.

When you blame others, you are affirming that you have no power, and your existence is only a reaction to the power of others.

The sweet pleasure of your own joy and success is a cultivation of both the heart and mind.

Impatience, resentment, jealousy and endless “want” are not creative attractors and have no value.

There are possibilities that exist beyond our present “knowing,” and to see those possibilities, we must abandon that which makes us feel safe.

Genius is always accompanied by enthusiasm.

A good place to begin, is to forgive yourself for judging in the first place.

Your soul has a resiliency and a capacity to endure suffering that is beyond anything you can imagine.

The way to send a clear message that you are ready for better people in your life is the kick the rascals to the curb.

Accept that you are not finished, and a new and better life is just beginning.

Respect is that great spirit of good, which creates the beautiful space giving all souls the simple room to breathe.

Almost everything you think is sacred, good and decent, is a lie and an all-out assault against truth and decency.

All things are accomplished by the meditative act of releasing illusions and simply becoming.

All ideas in a truly free society should always be open for discussion.

Separate yourself from the lies and illusions which are not you.

Most people do not actually know how to think for themselves, and unfortunately that prevents them from even knowing it.

While the ingrates duke-it-out about the true God, you take each breath in holy gratitude.

Become a dignitary by treating others with dignity.

Stop blaming and start being!

When you live positively it is impossible to not also be living for something greater than yourself.

People use words to do battle and to hurt one another terribly, tragically and even mortally.

It is staggering how completely, fully and fairly life supports you if your negativity will allow the blessings to arrive.

What is amazing and revolutionary today will be oppressive tomorrow.

Love only serves and does not calculate.

One passionate heart can brighten the world. From person to person the chain reaction burns through us — setting heart to heart ablaze, and lighting the way for us all!

Do not despair. Have faith. It is going to work out and you will be delivered.

Your attitudes reflect back your exact possibilities.

You will either have value, or be grist for the mill — nothing more.

Lead your life with love and friendship; self-love as your own friend.

The Arts are the only acceptable theatre of war for peace.

We co-create when we reach out and touch souls. Like rays of light—where they converge—twice as bright.

Be the patience you seek

There is an enlightened way to flow with, in, and through conflict.

When you are avoiding your pain you are really only avoiding your growth.

We all know the true beauty of people everywhere, because we have all looked into the eyes of children, and saw ourselves looking back.

A society that has destroyed freedom and beauty must itself be destroyed.

Most people know nothing about freedom; only the facsimile of freedom into which they were inculcated.

Nothing is more beautiful than freedom, and nothing more grotesque than its molestation.

Who you are is shaping your so-called reality. When you change — the world changes with you.

Don’t run from your pain — run into your pain.

Low-grade pain can be so rooted in your being that the pain begins to look like you, and you begin to look like the pain — it becomes your identity.

It is the garden of peace you seek, but it is not a tangible place that exists in the world — it is within. Go there, within.
