10. “Children are happy because they don't have
a file in their minds called "All the Things
That Could Go Wrong.”

11. “Love is what we are born with. Fear is what we learn. The
spiritual journey is the unlearning of fear and prejudices and
the acceptance of love back in our hearts. Love is the
essential reality and our purpose on earth. To be consciously
aware of it, to experience love in ourselves and others, is
the meaning of life. Meaning does not lie in things. Meaning
lies in us.”

you. We are all meant to shine, as children do.”

energy with which we do it. If we're frantic,
life will be frantic. If we're peaceful, life will
be peaceful. And so our goal in any situation
becomes inner peace.”

17. “You may believe that you are responsible for
what you do, but not for what you think. The truth
is that you are responsible for what you think,
because it is only at this level that you can exercise
choice. What you do comes from what you think. ”

18. “Success means we go to sleep at night
knowing that our talents and abilities
were used in a way that served others.”

19. If I choose to bless another person,
