We lack faith in *what* exists within us because we lack faith in *Who* exists within us.

Everything we do is infused with the energy with which we do it. If we’re frantic, life will be frantic. If we’re peaceful, life will be peaceful. And so our goal in any situation becomes inner peace. Our internal state determines our experience of our lives; our experiences do not determine our internal state.

In every moment, we teach either love or fear. As we demonstrate love towards others....we learn how to love more deeply.

The only time you ever have in which to learn anything or see anything or feel anything, or express any feeling or emotion, or respond to an event, or grow, or heal, is this moment, because this is the only moment any of us ever gets. You're only here now; you're only alive in this moment.

We are not held back by the love we didn't receive in the past, but by the love we're not extending in the present.

The practice of forgiveness is our most important contribution to the healing of the world.
