The trick in life is not getting what you want—it’s loving it after you get it.

How Relationships Rise and Fall
Quote
Relationships rise and fall primarily based on what the people in the relationships think. Not just at the moment they’re interacting, although that too is extremely potent, but even what they think and how they think in general.
Change of Choice, Change of Life
Quote
Real change is a change not in the state of external affairs, but a change of choice in relation to the external world, the presented options. This is how real change occurs. When a person prays for change, what they are really praying for is: one, a chance for a redo; and two, a hope that when presented with the opportunity for a redo, they will choose differently. That’s really what the prayer is for. The universe’s job, since it cannot make the choice, is only to present the opportunities for choice.
Hold God Precious
Quote
It is more important you hold God precious than that you see God, or have God. Because what happens if you have God and you do not hold God precious?
The Value of Love and the Value of Enlightenment
Quote
LOVE is the value; love makes enlightenment important, enlightenment does not make love important—love is always already important. And the value of anything can be measured to the extent that it facilitates love, but not the reverse.
The value of all things is whether or not and the extent to which they serve love; otherwise they have no value. That’s the right side up way. That’s the way that is true. And everything that gets in the way of love is valueless and less than valueless.

The Difference Between a Coward and a Mensch
Quote
This is the difference between a coward and a real human being, a mensch: a mensch works through objections, a coward hides behind them. A mensch considers the downsides in order to do the best they can. A coward considers the downsides in order to not to anything at all.
Ego Can’t Make Good, ANY Way
Quote
Hope springs eternal within the ego that it can somehow make good, one way or another. But all I’m saying is, it can’t make good any way. One way or another. Spirit, as it resides truly I the heart, can make things good.
Get that down, memorize that, stamp that on your forehead—that will be your salvation.
