Joy is what happens to us when we allow ourselves to recognize how good things really are.

• I deepen my experience of God through prayer, meditation, and forgiveness.
• Love is what we were born with. Fear is what we learned here.
• 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.
• As we let our light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence actually liberates others.
• The practice of forgiveness is our most important contribution to the healing of the world.
• Forgiveness is not always easy. At times, it feels more painful than the wound we suffered, to forgive the one that inflicted it. And yet, there is no peace without forgiveness.
• I deepen my experience of God through prayer, meditation, and forgiveness.
• The first step in forgiveness is the willingness to forgive.
• Dear God, Please send to me the spirit of Your peace. Then send, dear Lord, the spirit of peace from me to all the world. Amen.
• You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure about you. We were born to manifest the glory of God that is within us.
