“From family and friends to a stranger at the store, everyone is a version of us. Each person in the world is unique. Each person has their own personality, likes and dislikes, interests and hobbies.

“Separate your thoughts and emotions from it and surrender it to the universe. Give it up completely. Allow some time but be open to signs. A good rule of thumb is three signs.

“Change who you are from the inside. Then everything else will change. As Dr. Joe Dispenza says, “A new personality creates a new personal reality.” It is you who must change first. You must become the person inside that equals the life you want on the outside. Use your answer to change the inner workings of your mind and heart. Then your life will transform externally.”

“There is nothing you need to do, finish, create, or become to make you any more complete. You can have the dream job, relationship, house, and life, but need to hold on to the knowledge that you’re the greatest gift the universe has ever created. You’re its physical manifestation in the flesh. You’re the universe discovering itself as itself, its eyes to see, its ears to hear. There is nothing you need to prove to anyone, including yourself, for this to be true. You are absolutely perfect in this exact moment.”

“Cognitive dissonance makes it very hard for us to accept a view that contradicts our current one. It is our perception that fosters our current belief system. Anything that disagrees or contradicts it has a hard time finding its way in. Knowing that you could have multiple built up lies in your view of yourself and others, when confronted with the truth, do you flat out ignore it? Give yourself the mental and emotional space to find the truth by first accepting that you may not know it. Once you do that, you can allow room for the truth to come in.”

“It is only you who can change anything, by changing yourself. The world is simply a reflection of you. All of its joy and all of its turmoil. Everything is simply you. Change yourself, change the world. The greatest gift you can give the world is the most authentic version of yourself.”

“Our sense of self is so wrapped up in our story that when it is questioned, we get defensive. What if our old story no longer identifies us? Our story could simply be, “I am here now.” Just that simple. No more past, no more future, no more projection, just this loving, unfiltered moment.”

“They say you date at the level of your self esteem. Your relationship is a reflection of you. If your partner is lying, cheating, or hurting you, it is what you are allowing. What we allow will continue. You must hold yourself higher than that. The truth is love is an action. It’s not what you say, but what you do, that shows love. If their actions are not loving, then they don’t love you. If you stay, allowing it to continue, then really you don’t love yourself. Your action to stay in an unhealthy relationship is telling you that you don’t love yourself enough to do what’s best for you.”

“We are not perfect in every single way, so to not allow others to have imperfections prevents us from allowing ourselves our own imperfections. Only when you accept others can you fully accept yourself. It’s judgement of them that brings up the judge within us, which makes us begin to disown a part of who we are. We must decide to accept love and allow others to be who they are without judgement if we are ever going to be free of our own selves to live.”

“The truth is you don’t have to care anymore. You don’t have to get mad, frustrated, annoyed, or pissed off. You have the power to change that. That is in your control. This doesn’t mean you have to stay at that job or with that person; but if you’re going to make that choice, then accept the situation for what it is. No one will ever act exactly how you want them to act all the time. No one is perfect, not even you. People will say things and do things that won’t fit your idea of who you want them to be, so it is up to you to decide what to care about.”

“What if it is the simple act of being who we are that is your life’s work. As Gandhi said, “Your life is your message”. Doing what you’re doing is your life’s work. Being the friend, child, parent, lover, or coworker you are is your life’s work. Are you representing your life’s work the way you would want? If not, then show the world who you truly are. Be the manifestation of what you want to present to the world. This is your life’s work.”
