"Fear = Face Everything And Respond"
Kerri Moon
"Worrying is using your imagination to create something you don't want."
Abraham
"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. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn't serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We are born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us.
It's not just in some of us, it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."
Marianne Williamson (I have also seen this quote attributed to Nelson Mandela)
"Do unto others as they'd like done unto them."
Dr. Tony Alessandra - The Platinum Rule

William Shakespeare
"If you judge people, you have no time to love them."
Mother Teresa
Even in your rightness about a subject, when you try to push your rightness toward another who disagrees, no matter how right you are, it causes more pushing against. In other words, it isn't until you stop pushing that any real allowing of what you want can take place.
Abraham
"Intuition will tell the thinking mind where to look next."
- Jonas Salk
“The most exquisite paradox… as soon as you give it all up, you can have it all. As long as you want power, you can't have it. The minute you don't want power, you'll have more than you ever dreamed possible.”
Ram Dass
