In New York, you can bump into someone on the street and go to a thing, go get coffee real quick.
It is not what you hear, it is where you listen from within yourself that gives meaning to the message.
You have a right to your thoughts and feelings. Your feelings are always valid.
When we have peace in our hearts and minds, we draw peace into our lives.
Perhaps you went to bed last night thinking about the overdue bills, the lack of finances, the problematic people and situations you have to face. This morning you woke up. Did you give thanks? If you didn't, it is probably because you forgot that when praise goes up, the blessings come down. That should be enough to inspire you to be thankful.
When you are open to receive what God is able to do for you, you stop doing. You learn how to "Be still and know!" You know that your good is on the way, according to God's nature and willingness to give. You also put your faith in the fact that God is always on time.
You can't do anything as long as you are afraid of what might happen. Fear clouds opportunities, erases possibilities, and limits the ability to move beyond the place in which the mind is stuck. No matter how difficult we think the problem is, we must muster up the courage to face it.
Perhaps you have seen me. I know well, my purpose was merely that of a symbol, 'equals', 'times'. . . ; but what is said, for all that, was identity-less: a kind of live geometry.
I've learned that success comes in a very prickly package. Whether you choose to accept it or not is up to you. It's what you choose to do with it, the people you choose to surround yourself with. Always choose people that are better than you. Always choose people that challenge you and are smarter than you. Always be the student. Once you find yourself to be the teacher, you've lost it.
Who can protect themselves from betrayal? The day your brother wakes up and plans to do you dirty, there's no defense against that.
Speak truth to power.
