“The greatest power requires the gentlest touch.
If you have to intervene or force yourself on someone else, then what that's actually an indication of is that you don't actually believe in your own power.
Because if you believed in your own power - if you knew you were powerful enough to create the reality that you prefer - why would you need in any way shape or form to interfere with anyone else's process?”

“When you feel the emotional reaction of someone's supposed [verbal] attack, what you're doing is getting them to reflect to you that some portion of yourself feels that way about yourself. Otherwise you wouldn't react. You would just observe it - "oh interesting." - and move on with your day. But if you react to it, it's showing you some part of you actually is buying into this as true.
So say: "Well thank you: Thank you for showing that I was not loving all of myself."
And when you really start doing that, then you may start to see that someone else's attitude toward you may change.”

“Your purpose is to be YOU as fully as you can and the way that's perhaps most easily done is to act on your highest joy.”

“Here is the true secret of the Law of Attraction:
You have a core vibrational frequency.
It is purely uniquely you.
It's a beacon. It's like a lighthouse. It shines. It radiates purely that signature frequency of your unique being. It never stops radiating that light, that frequency, that energy - never stops.
Everything that is in alignment with that frequency is doing its utmost to come to you.
Everything that is not aligned with that frequency is doing its utmost to get as far away from you as it possibly can.
If the things that are aligned with that beacon aren't reaching you, it's not because "you're not vibrating at the resonance that you need to attract it". It's because your definitions and beliefs are holding it away.
If the things that are trying to get away from you can't get away from you, it's not because they're not trying - it's because you're holding onto them.
So the true Secret of the Law of Attraction is not "how to learn to attract what you prefer", it's how to learn to let go of what you don't, so that you can let in what is trying to get to you automatically - by definition.
That's the true Secret and that's why it's effortless.
It's just about letting go and letting in.
It's not about having to learn to do something you're not already doing.”

“The purpose of a relationship is to reflect to all the others in the relationship what they need to understand to become more of themselves.
Everyone in a relationship is in a relationship for the purpose of helping the other people in the relationship, giving them opportunities to learn to be who they are more and more.”
