The new midlife is where you realize that even your failures make you more beautiful and are turned spiritually into success if you became a better person because of them. You became a more humble person. You became a more merciful and compassionate person.

---

Nothing binds you except your thoughts; nothing limits you except your fear; and nothing controls you except your beliefs.

---

I'm better than I used to be. Better than I was yesterday. But hopefully not as good as I'll be tomorrow.

---

Every act of kindness on your part is a boost to your own immune system.

---

We need less posturing and more genuine charisma. Charisma was originally a religious term, meaning "of the spirit" or "inspired." It's about letting God's light shine through us. It's about a sparkle in people that money can't buy. It's an invisible energy with visible effects. To let go, to just love, is not to fade into the wallpaper. Quite the contrary, it's when we truly become bright. We're letting our own light shine.

Forgiveness is the key to inner peace because it is the mental technique by which our thoughts are transformed from fear to love.

---

Your life shows up for you when you show up for your life.

---

Love is what we were born with. Fear is what we learned here.

---

Enlightenment is the key to everything, and it is the key to intimacy, because it is the goal of true authenticity.

---

Our triumph over sorrow is not that we can avoid it but that we can endure it. And therein lies our hope; that in spirit we might become bigger than the problems we face.
