“Rather than sitting at the bar, or in a doctor’s office waiting for a refill, I came to the Great Doctor and didn’t even know it!”

“To create the new world we seek, we need to start with ourselves. We must dismantle the Inner Empires we’ve built—around status, money, prestige. We can rebuild our foundation with the Cornerstones of Humility, Compassion and Connection. Humility allows us to see one another as equal; it reminds us we are stardust amongst God’s infinite cosmos. Responsibility teaches us to be accountable for all of our actions. Compassion brings empathy and love to help us tap into God’s tenderness.Connection is the strongest; it teaches us about belonging, and courage. Today, I ask for the courage to shake the foundations of my spiritual world.”

“The great illusion of the world is that we are what we do. The great truth of Spirit is that we live from our heart, or we do not live at all. Here is a benchmark by which you can assess the quality of your actions and make important decisions: What is our true intention? Throughout your day, say hello to God occasionally. Call each other just to say hello. Your love affair with Spirit will bloom in the most wonderful ways. Today, I pray to keep my heart open to Your Love in the midst of all my activities.”

Have I turned to a Power greater than myself? Thank God, I am no longer at the center of the universe. The entire world does not revolve around me any longer. I am only one among many. I have a Father in heaven, and I am only one of His children and a small one at that. But I can depend on Him to show me what to do and to give me the strength to do it. I am on the Way and the whole power of the universe is behind me when I do the right thing. I don’t have to depend entirely on myself any longer. With God, I can face anything. Is my life in the hands of God?”
