“God has given you the spirit of self-control and you can choose what you will think about any situation (2 Timothy 1:7). You can also choose to do what you know is right no matter how you feel at the moment. Dale Carnegie said, “You can conquer almost any fear if you will only make up your mind to do so. For remember, fear doesn’t exist anywhere except in the mind.” 

“Great character is not developed through ease and convenience but through doing NOW what needs to be done no matter how difficult it” 

“Trust in Him If you are tempted to give up on something or someone, put your trust in God and believe that even if you don’t have the power to change the circumstances, He does.” 

“God has a great life planned for you.” 

Truth cannot be structured or confined. When there is no center and no circumference, then there is truth.

There is a difference: the world, our reaction to it.

Freedom lies in understanding yourself from moment to moment.

Happiness is good for the body, but sorrow strengthens to spirit.

What’s amiss I’ll stop to mend, and endure what can’t be mended.

I no longer cover paradise. More important, I no longer fear hell. If you ask me what I will be in heaven, I will say this: Why should I think about something so far away when there are so many things in this life I have not finished learning about?

The waters are in motion all the time, but the moon retains its serenity. The mind moves in response to the ten thousand situations but remains ever the same.

The round of summer and winter becomes a blessing the moment we give up the fantasy of eternal spring.

Right conduct is governed by reason and creativity.

Obey the principles without being bound by them.

“The eagle has no fear of adversity. We need to be like the eagle and have a fearless spirit of a conqueror.” 

“Anyone who tries to keep all the people happy all the time will never fulfill their destiny.” 

“One way we show our love for God is to graciously receive His love and every good gift He brings into our lives. You see, God has a plan: He wants us to receive His love; love ourselves in a balanced, godly way; generously love Him in return; and love everyone who comes into our lives. Learning to receive graciously helps us give graciously. When God reaches out to love us, He is attempting to start a cycle that will not only bless us, but others as well. Love God Today: “Lord, please help me receive graciously all that You desire to give me.” 

“There is a difference in a person’s “who” and their “do.” God may not always be happy with what you do, but He is always pleased with who you are.” 

“No day needs to be ordinary if we realize the gift God is giving us when He gives us another day to live and enjoy. An extraordinary attitude can quickly turn an ordinary day into an amazing adventure. Jesus said He came so that we might have and enjoy life (see John 10:10). If we refuse to enjoy it, then it’s no one’s fault but our own. I would like to suggest that you take responsibility for your joy and never again give anyone else the job of keeping you happy.” 

“If you forgive those who sin against you, your heavenly Father will forgive you. But if you refuse to forgive others, your Father will not forgive your sins. MATTHEW 6:14–15 NLT” 

“I always believe the best of every person, and I am very positive.” 

“Great relationships are one of the most precious treasures in life, but we must feed them regularly by putting time into them. If you find you have no time to develop and maintain strong, intimate relationships with God, with yourself, and with your family and friends, then you are absolutely too busy.” 

“We make Him too small in our eyes and expect much less than He desires to give.” 

“is full of people and situations that don’t please us, so if we are waiting for perfect circumstances to make us happy, we will be waiting forever. That’s why we must learn to base our happiness and joy not on outward circumstances, but on the Lord’s presence inside us. Thankfully, we can learn not to fret or have any anxiety about anything, but in” 

All I can offer is an experience but never a conclusion, so even what I have said needs to be thoroughly examined by you.

I might be able to help you to discover and examine your problem by awakening your awareness of their cause and effect, but I cannot teach you, for I am not a teacher, and I have no style.

I don’t believe in system, nor in method. And without system, without method, what’s to teach?

To me, defeat is anything is merely temporary, and its punishment is but an urge for me to greater effort to achieve my goal. Defeat simply tells me that something is wrong in my doing; it is a path leading to success and truth.

To doubt is to think, and thought is the only thing in the universe whose existence cannot be denied, because to deny is to think.

To be one thing and not to change is the climax of stillness. To have nothing in one that resists is the climax of emptiness. To remain detached from all outside things is the climax of fineness. To have in oneself no contraries is the climax of purity.

There can be no initiative if one has fear, and fear compels us to cling to tradition, gurus, etc.

The point to be made about ego is that man should use his ego and not be used by ego or blinded by it.

Those who are materialistic still hold onto the ego as though it were a possession, rather than using it as a tool. Inwardly, psychologically, be a nobody.

“three kinds of people in the world. First there are “well-poisoners,” who discourage you and stomp on your creativity and tell you what you can’t do. Then there are “lawn-mowers,” people who are well intentioned but self-absorbed. They tend to their own needs, mow their own lawns, and never leave their yards to help another person. Finally there are “life-enhancers,” people who reach out to enrich the lives of others, to lift them up and inspire them. We need to be life-enhancers, and we need to” 

“Do you want everything God has for you? Then be willing to do everything He asks of you.” 

“God sees and understands what we do not see and understand. He asks us to put aside our natural tendencies to want to figure out what should happen in our lives and when it should happen. He also desires us to stop being frustrated because things do not go according to our plan, and instead to relax, enjoy the ride, and trust He is working everything out according to His timing and the wisdom of His plan.” 

“Greedy people ask, ask, ask, and rarely ever appreciate what they have already received. I do not believe that God will release us into the fullness of all that He has planned for us until we become thankful for what we have already been given.” 

“Learn to caste your care, but not your responsibility.” 

“God is excited about your future, and I hope you are also. Don’t let the discouragement of the past steal the amazing future that is yours.” 

“For we all often stumble and fall and offend in many things. And if anyone does not offend in speech [never says the wrong things], he is a fully developed character and a perfect man, able to control his whole body and to curb his entire nature. JAMES 3:2 According to this Scripture, the one thing proving our level of spiritual maturity isn’t how religious we are—whether we can quote Scripture, or the good works we do—it is the words from our mouths.” 

“Our minds may be like some computers that can have a lifetime of wrong information stored in them.” 

“We can defeat Satan much more quickly by praising God than by worrying.” 

“As long as you think tomorrow is dependent on yesterday, your future will never be different from your past.” 

If every man would help his neighbor, no man would be without help.

We can see through others only when we see through ourselves.

Moving, be like water. Still, be like a mirror. Respond like an echo.

Let things be what they are, move like water, rest like a mirror, respond like an echo, pass quickly like the nonexistent, and be quiet as purity.

You can never step in the same river twice, my friend. Like flowing water, life is perpetual movement. There is nothing fixed.

Whatever your problems happen to be in the future, remember well that they cannot remain stationary but must move together with your living spirit. Otherwise, you will drift into artificiality or attempt to solidify the ever-flowing. To avoid that, you must change and be flexible. Remember, the usefulness of a cup is in its emptiness.

Be pliable. When a man is living, he is soft and pliable; when he is dead, he becomes rigid. Pliability is life; rigidity is death, whether one speak’s of man’s body, his mind, or his spirit.
