Those who say life is knocking them down and giving them a tough time are usually the first to beat themselves up. Be on your own side.

Love is the only answer to every question

There are ultimately two choices in life: to fight it or to embrace it. If you fight it you will lose - if you embrace it you become one with it and you'll be lived.

The mind will enchain yourself, others or both. Your heart will set you / them free

Some strive to make themselves great. Others help others see and find their own greatness. It's the latter who really enrich the world we live in

All pursuits are pointless and fruitless unless and until love and compassion are found and then are the foundation and destination of all you do

Nothing has value without self worth

You may possibly become rich by just caring about yourself and what you want to gain from life but you cannot possibly enrich the lives of everyone you meet that way. The pathway to enlightenment and transformation and liberation is the heart not the mind.

Only love and compassion can bring true and lasting transformation

When you fall short of your goals and dreams ask yourself is it your mindset, perspective, expectations, effort, approach, acceptance, company or a blend of these that needs to change.

Champions realise that defeat - and learning from it even more than from winning - is part of the path to mastery.

Beware trying to iron out all your quirks, perceived flaws and doubts. It's often these things that help you find strength, compassion, empathy for others and heart.

While there may be many things in life you wish to harvest not every seed you plant will grow.

You may not need to do it all, design it all or direct it all. But when it comes to making things you want to happen to happen you may well have to inspire and drive it all.

Don't be sidetracked by one setback along a path of gifts and blessings

All the love, learning and opportunities that you seek come from being open to life not being closed throughout it.

If you're jealous of someone else it simply means you have not come to a true acceptance and appreciation of yourself.
