We are not obliged to like everyone, only to love and forgive everyone, sometimes from a distance.

Ego doesn't want us to be loving, forgiving and kind to each other or even to ourselves.

Desire as a motivator for achievement and even for survival isn't a bad thing. It's when desire drives us to grab more than our share or harm others that issues arise.

Our reputations are so out of our control that it's laughable how much time and effort so many of us put into trying to "control" them.

Ego very much wants to make you think that your self worth is all about what you possess, what you've accomplished, and who you know.

If you are worrying about reputation, you are taking time away from doing the things that really matter.

When relying solely on ego, we are given many messages that are contrary to the achievement of that happy and fulfilling life that most of us actually desire.

The ego is never satisfied. So, if you're not satisfied with what you have right now, consider what is driving you.

People have forgotten the effects of prohibition. We have become the United Statesof Amnesia.

You need to know your faith. You cannot give what you do not have.

That which is hard to do is best done bitterly.

I still go to a Christian priory for retreats.

Great communication begins with connection.

If a man who cannot count finds a four-leaf clover, is he entitled to happiness?
