GOD & DIVA INSPIRATIONS

Before you diagnose yourself with depression or low self-esteem, first make sure that you are not, in fact, just surrounded by assholes. ~William Gibson


At this very moment, there are people only you can reach, and differences only you can make.
~Unknown


If the grass is greener on the other side, maybe that’s because you’re not taking good care of your grass. - Unknown


The easiest way to create what you want is to fall deeply in love with what you already have. Direct all your energy to what feels good now and you will effectively change every aspect of your life for the better by creating the space needed for things to flourish. Thoughts are important but feelings hold more power. You can recite all the affirmations you want but if you feel like shit as you do it you are wasting your time. Instead, just focus on feeling good no matter what is going on around you. That is your ticket to freedom. That is the path to your dreams.


All know the way. Few actually walk it. ~Bodhidarma


Perhaps the greatest of all illusions is that life could somehow be better than it already is. ~Mike Dooley


Never regret love. No matter how blind, it improved your world view. No matter how foolish, it made you wiser. And no matter how generous, it made you more. Hubba, hubba. ~The Universe


I think of myself as a consciousness teacher, rather than a spiritual teacher, because spirituality is just one aspect of our collective experience. ~Shakti Gawain


If you knew you only had one year to live, what would you regret not doing? This is the answer to what you should be focusing on in your life. Don't assume you have all the time in the world. You don't. You aren't even guaranteed tomorrow. So get clear about what you truly want, and spend your life on THAT!



It isn't necessary to be perfect to be a channel for the universe. You just have to be real.
~Shakti Gawain


We are all teachers of teachers. ~Abraham-Hicks

It's not a matter of time; it's a matter of alignment. ~Abraham-Hicks


The difference between really, really rich people and those "without" pretty much boils down to time. The very most that you now dream of having, doing, and being, will be the very least that you get. Chill, baby. ~The Universe


The feeling of depression that you were feeling was your indicator that you had been focused upon enough things long enough that you had managed to deplete yourself of your alignment with who you really are. And that's what depleting yourself of who you really are feels like. You're not wanting to withdraw from life; you're wanting to withdraw from resistance. If you do nothing to support or encourage the pain that you're in, the vortex will call you upward. ~Abraham Hicks


Next time you feel fear, either right after a major decision or just before one, it usually means you're exactly where you need to be. Nice. ~The Universe

Most rarely align with their true power, because it seems illogical to them that there is power in relaxation, in letting go, or in love or joy or bliss. Most people do not understand that their true power lies in releasing resistance—which is the only obstacle to their true power. ~Abraham-Hicks



To me, true prosperity begins with feeling good about yourself. It is also a freedom to do what you want to do, when you want to do it. It is never an amount of money; it is a state of mind. Prosperity or lack of it is an outer expression of the ideas in your head. ~Louise L. Hay


The moment you can visualize being free from the things that hold you back, you have indeed begun to set yourself free. ~Unknown


The questions you have to answer pertain to what, where, when, and why. Mine pertain to how and with whom. When you know the end result, I always know the fastest way. Fair? ~ The Universe


Man. Because he sacrifices his health in order to make money. Then he sacrifices money to recuperate his health. And then he is so anxious about the future that he does not enjoy the present; the result being that he does not live in the present or the future; he lives as if he is never going to die, and then dies having never really lived. ~ The Dalai Lama, when asked what surprised him most about humanity.


A happy life is just a string of happy moments. But most people don't allow the happy moment, because they're so busy trying to get a happy life. ~Abraham-Hicks


The world is filled with many colorful characters, one or many of whom would be absolutely thrilled to play along in any drama you'd care to create - romantically, socially, financially, comically - any. You just have to let me do the casting - have to. You decide what you want, physically move in its direction and I'll "send in the clowns." Truly thrilled, The Universe



Always choose to heal, not to hurt. To forgive, not to despise. To persevere, not to quit. To smile, not to frown. And to love, not to hate. Have a great life, at the end of life what really matters is not what we bought but what we built. Not what we got but what we shared. Not our competence but our character. And not our success but our significance. Live a life that matters, live a life that cares. ~Unknown


If we complain about another person, we are really complaining about some aspect of ourselves. ~Louise Hay

When life doesn't match your expectations, you're going to be in pain. ~Anthony Robbins


Only those who ask for more can get more and only those who know there is more, ask. ~ Alan Cohen


You have never, not for one moment, been off your path. And you have no reason whatsoever to feel any embarrassment or discomfort about where you are at this stage in your life. You are powerfully on your path. And you are just beginning the best part of your life. ~Abraham-Hicks


People believe what they want to believe. And this, alone, explains what they have or don't have. Does that make your entire flippin' day, or what?! Believe what you want. Give yourself permission, and don't be afraid to go BIG. ~The Universe


You don’t manifest what you want in life, you manifest what you believe. ~Dr. Lise Janelle


All neurosis is a substitute for legitimate suffering. ~ Carl Jung




When we won't forgive, when we won't let go, we're binding ourselves to the past, and when we are stuck in the past, we cannot live in present time, and if we are not living in the present, how can we create our glorious future? Old garbage from the past just creates more garbage for the future. ~Louise L. Hay


Understand the root cause of your fears - estrangement from yourself; and of desires - the longing for the self, and your karma will dissolve like a dream. ~From I Am That by Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj


Have you ever noticed that Rolls Royce and Bentley don't have commercials? REASON: They know the value of their product brings the customers to them. LESSON: When you know your value, you don't have to beg people to be your mate, to spend time with you or to love you. Be confident in who GOD made you to be. Everyone can't afford the luxury of your friendship. Know your worth. ~Anonymous




It is not for you to judge the journey of another's soul. It is for you to decide who YOU are, not who another has been or has failed to be. ~NDW

And for extra credit, focus on customers more than vendors; smiles more than frowns; possibilities more than risks; options more than commitments; vacations more than overtime; detours more than setbacks; opportunities more than obstacles; and Goldilocks more than the bears. And on your way home, buy more flowers than normal. End of Workshop. ~The Universe


The first step towards getting somewhere is to decide that you are not going to stay where you are. ~Dora The Explorer:)


Belief creates the actual fact. -William James


Everything is on its way to being wonderful, even if it's not there yet. The best thing you can do is take your hand of the wheel. ~Marianne Williamson


Remember that everyone you meet is afraid of something, loves something, and has lost something. ~Unknown


No matter what the issue is, don't try to justify why you don't feel good. And don't try to justify why you should feel differently. Don't try to blame whatever it is you think the reason is that's keeping you from feeling good. All of that is wasted effort. Just try to feel better right now. ~Abraham-Hicks


No matter how long we have traveled on the wrong road, we can always turn around.



Most people are searching for happiness. They're looking for it. They're trying to find it in someone or something outside of themselves.That's a fundamental mistake. Happiness is something that you are, and it comes from the way you think. ~ Dr. Wayne Dyer


If you're not making someone else's life better then you're wasting your time. ~ Will Smith


Life is full of challenges. Being happy shouldn't be one of them. ~ Ronnie Nijmeh

Every saint has a past and every sinner has a future. ~Unknown

Healing is not something you can coax logically out of the universe. You can not reason with it or convince it to happen. To connect with healing, you have to step out of your thinking mind and into your heart. ~Unknown

Wherever you are, whatever you're doing, and whomever you're doing it with is your spiritual curriculum. Your perfect lessons are contained there. ~Marianne Williamson


Sometimes God will remove something good from your life to make room for something better. And sometimes he'll take away the better to give you his best. ~Unknown


Every second that you live you are never going to get back. You are never going to get to change what you said, didn’t say, did, or didn’t do. Live how you want to live. Act how you want to be remembered, because you never know how long or short you are going to be here. ~Emily Doberstein


It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society. ~Krishnamurti


If we succeed at getting away from a person without learning what we need to know from the relationship we can expect to meet up with another person who will very soon reflect the same image upon us. Now a second opportunity will surface for us to take inventory of our issues. And if not then, a third, and so forth until we get the BIG picture and begin the process of change/acceptance.


If you want to become full,
let yourself be empty.
If you want to be reborn,
let yourself die.
If you want to be given everything,
give everything up.

Lao Tzu (Tao Te Ching)


People won’t remember what you did. People won’t remember what you said. But, people will remember how you made them feel. ~ Neale Donald Walsch




Remember that the greatest contribution that you can make is the aliveness that comes from simply being yourself, living your truth, and doing what you love. The passionate expression of who we are will heal the world. ~Shakti Gawain


Every time you don't follow your inner guidance, you feel a loss of energy, loss of power, a sense of spiritual deadness. ~Shakti Gawain


There is no condition, no circumstance, no problem that love cannot solve. Love, for yourself and others, is always the solution. ~Neale Donald Walsch


If things are not going the way I expected in some area, it does not mean that I am bad or wrong. It is a signal that I am being redirected by Divine Guidance. When this happens, I find a quiet place where I can relax and connect with the intelligence within me. I affirm that the supply of wisdom is inexhaustible and available to me, and whatever I need to know is revealed to me in the perfect time-space sequence. -Louise L. Hay


For a long time, when someone would leave my life or I would choose to walk away, it was painful. It felt like deep, personal rejection of my essence, a failure, an abandonment, a profound loss. There was often guilt, shame, blame, anger, hurt. Nowadays, it happens so often and so rapidly that I am choosing to see it not as a failure but as a success. Like vibrational graduations in both directions. -CAW




I prayed for change, so I changed my mind.
I prayed for guidance and learned to trust myself.
I prayed for happiness and realized I am not my ego.
I prayed for peace and learned to accept others unconditionally.
I prayed for abundance and realized my doubt kept it out.
I prayed for wealth and realized it is my health.
I prayed for a miracle and realized I am the miracle.
I prayed for a soul mate and realized I am the One.
I prayed for love and realized it's always knocking, but I have to let it in.

~I Prayed by Mastin Kipp


If you make the effort to sit down and design a new life, and you make it the most important thing and you spend time every day feeding it like a gardener feeds a seed, you will produce fruit. ~ What The Bleep Do We Know


You can search throughout the entire universe for someone who is more deserving of your love and affection than you are yourself, and that person is not to be found anywhere. You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe deserve your love and affection. -Buddha


Teaching is never about helping others to learn but about helping them to remember. All learning is remembering. All teaching is reminding. All lessons are memories, recaptured. -Neale Donald Walsch



When you judge another, you do not define them, you define yourself. ~ Wayne Dyer


To seek approval is to have no resting place, no sanctuary. Like all judgment, approval encourages a constant striving. It makes us uncertain of who we are and of our true value. Approval cannot be trusted. It can be withdrawn at any time no matter what our track record has been. It is as nourishing of real growth as cotton candy. Yet many of us spend our lives pursuing it. ~ Rachel Naomi Remen


Those who reach levels of spiritual consciousness have a select group of friends. They treasure their privacy and guard themselves from the marauding forces of lower energy people. - Wayne Dyer

When I do good, I feel good. When I do bad, I feel bad. That is my religion. - Abraham Lincoln




People actively pursuing a personal or spiritual growth journey tend to let go of old ways of being quickly as they discover more of their authentic self. What once sparked enthusiasm may fizzle out. A different career path, change of home, and new friends are not surprising. There’s nothing good or bad, nor right or wrong about any of this. It’s a simple case of two things not matching or resonating together anymore. This includes friends. - ginigrey.com

To go against the dominant thinking of your friends, of most of the people you see every day, is perhaps the most difficult act of heroism you can perform. - Theodore H. White

Nothing ever goes away until it has taught us what we need to know. - Pema Chodron


The point of life is not to get anywhere - it is to notice that you are, and have always been, already there. - Neale Donald Walsch


Chaos can be a prelude to miraculous change. - Marianne Williamson



If you look closely at your life, you will see that you have always had whatever you have needed in order to get to the next moment, and ultimately, to bring you here, where you are, right now. You may have wanted something more, but you have needed nothing more. All your needs have been met. - Neale Donald Walsch


I hereby proclaim to all humanity - the time is now, allow yourself, within this moment, to be OK. You have just been granted official permission to love every aspect of yourself. - Sheldon Watkins


Your desire reveals your destiny. - Dani Johnson


A mind that is stretched by a new experience can never go back to its old dimensions. - Oliver Wendell Holmes

It is far more powerful to live your truth than to preach it. -Unknown


‎Clutter represents an attachment to something you are struggling to release. - Julie Morgentern


In every crisis there is a message. Crises are nature's way of forcing change - breaking down old structures, shaking loose negative habits so that something new and better can take their place. - Susan Taylor


True happiness is revealed in the moment when we realize that there have been no painful experiences in our past … only moments that have etched away the rock revealing the masterpiece that was always residing beneath. ~ Debi Hebel


People take different roads seeking fulfillment and happiness. Just because they are not on your road doesn't mean they've gotten lost. -Dalai Lama


When you truly give up trying to be whole through others, you end up receiving what you always wanted from others. - Shakti Gawain

The best remedy for dealing with a troubling past is living in the present. ~Mike Dooley


Things don't go wrong and break your heart so you can become bitter and give up. They happen to break you down and build you up so you can be all that you were intended to be.


Ethical people will do what is right, no matter what they are told. Religious people will do what they are told, no matter what is right. (Unknown)


Because all things have contributed to your advancement, you should include all things in your gratitude. - Wallace Wattles




Be at least as interested in what goes on inside you as what happens outside. If you get the inside right, the outside will fall into place. - Eckhart Tolle


The universe gives us as much as we are willing to give ourselves.


Be there. Go there now and never leave. Imagine that your dreams have already come true. Live your life from that mindset.

Let your focus shift and be born again - because dwelling from, not upon, the space you want to inherit is the fastest way to change absolutely everything. ~The Universe


When you make a failure, it is because you have not asked for enough; keep on and a larger thing than you were seeking will certainly come to you. - The Science of Getting Rich


Whatever the situation, it isn't over until the happy part. - Marianne Williamson


Every woman knows her highest purpose in life cannot be reduced to any particular relationship. If a woman prioritizes her relationship over her highest purpose, she weakens herself, disserves the universe, and cheats her man of an authentic woman who can offer him full, undivided presence. - David Deida


Most people limit their lives by censoring their desires. Don't censor them: allow yourself to own what it is you really want. The desire is telling you something. If the desire is appropriate, your owning it paves a path for its manifestation. If not, owning it is also necessary so you can surrender it for transformation. - Marianne Williamson




The people we are in relationship with are always a mirror, reflecting our own beliefs, and simultaneously we are mirrors, reflecting their beliefs. So, relationship is one of the most powerful tools for growth. If we look honestly at our relationships, we can see so much about how we have created them. - Shakti Gawain


When people walk away from you, let them walk. Don’t try to talk another person into staying with you, loving you, calling you, caring for you, coming to see you, or staying attached to you. When people can walk away, let them walk. Your destiny is never tied to anybody that left.


It does not matter how much we desire something, it does not matter how attractive something is to us, and it does not matter how logical something appears. If something does not feel right, that something is not right for us. - Tsunyota Kohet


There’s no need to miss someone from your past. There’s a reason they didn’t make it to your future. – Unknown


What you love, you are. -Rumi


Many illnesses are created through fighting against the cycles of low energy, which are vital for regeneration. The compulsion to do…makes it hard or impossible for you to accept the low cycles and allow them to be. Thus, the intelligence of the organism may take over as a self-protective measure and create an illness in order to force you to stop, so that the necessary regeneration can take place. - Eckhart Tolle


Don't be surprised if some people drop out of your life. Your friends may not like it when you change because your light will expose the darkness they may still be attached to.

Trust yourself, then you will know how to live. - Goethe

I am not here to change your religion. Follow whatever religion you feel. I am not here to teach you how to try to fly. I'm here to teach you to recognize your true self. That's all. - Prem Rawat





It's funny, but the more proficient one becomes at navigating the ship of their dreams, the more they leave the navigating to me (and the smoother the sailing). And vice versa - the more they leave the navigating to me, the more proficient they become. You can trust me to take care of the morrow - to give you unimagined orchards to harvest, new friends to laugh with, and spellbinding twists of "fate" - when you take care of today. Your nautical wheeler, The Universe.


Nothin' happens to anyone that isn't a gift in disguise. ~The Universe


You've got your agenda. I've got my agenda. OK... so my agenda is actually your agenda. You do have an agenda. Right? Whatever you want, dwell upon the end result and move. I'll connect the dots. Dream on and dream big. -The Universe


We taste and feel and see the truth. We do not reason ourselves into it. ~William Butler Yeats


Do not begrudge another's happiness; you know not the demons they conquered to claim it. Sharing their joy is the surest way to ensure the arrival of your own. ~Unknown



Why not pray for something else instead for things to happen or not happen? Pray not to feel fear. Or desire. Or grief. Not 'some way to sleep with her' but a way to stop wanting to. Not 'some way to get rid of him' but a way to stop trying. Not 'some way to save my child' but a way to lose your fear. Redirect your prayers like that and watch what happens. ~Marcus Aurelius


It's always better to give too much, pay too much, and love too much, than not enough. ~Mike Dooley


A woman in love is drunk with something. There’s a chemical syrup that permeates her cells, a place in her being where hormones meet God. It’s hell or heaven or both. If we harness its power, we could heal the world. And that is the point. A woman in love can do anything. She can run a business, bear children, create art, make love, cook meals, lead a nation and figure out how to look great. But... if she is not in love, she lacks energy; and if she is in love but spurned, she can lack the will to live. Women need to be in love: with themselves, with a man, with a child, with a project, with a job, with their country, with the planet, and most important with life itself. Women in love are closer to enlightenment. For angels and lovers, everything sparkles. ~Marianne Williamson


Almost everything – all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure - these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart. -Steve Jobs




I have come to believe that a great teacher is a great artist and that there are as few as there are any other great artists. Teaching might even be the greatest of the arts since the medium is the human mind and spirit. ~John Steinbeck


It doesn't matter what anybody else is doing with their vibration, it only matters what you are doing. You cannot desire something—and notice that it isn't coming—without offering two contradictory vibrations that won't let it come. ~Abraham-Hicks


Ironically, those who label others as selfish are actually concerned with their own well-being. And this is good for a number of reasons, including learning the virtue of it. Besides, depending upon others to live "unselfishly" is still depending upon others. ~The Universe



Think back on your life just for a moment, to when something wildly wonderful and totally unexpected happened. Something that rocked your world and changed your life. That curled your hair and colored your cheeks. That lit your fire and buttered your bread. See what happens when you leave the cursed hows to me? As you were, ~The Universe


What's for you won't pass you by. ~Lillian Breed


You cannot get sick enough to help sick people get better. You cannot get poor enough to help poor people thrive. It is only in your thriving that you have anything to offer anyone. If you're wanting to be of an advantage to others, be as tapped in, turned in, turned on as you can possibly be. ~Abraham-Hicks


Don’t take anything personally. Nothing other people do is because of you. It is because of themselves. ~Don Miguel Ruiz


Do you think that if someone finally realized that their thoughts became the things and events of their life; began believing that they were truly unlimited; and started to grasp that divine intervention could be freely summoned by anyone to help make their dreams come true, they'd continue doing the same old things, living the same old life, and waiting for the same old miracles? Or would they begin thinking things they've never thought before, saying things they've never said before, and doing things they've never done before? Precisely. ~The Universe


The questions you have to answer pertain to what, where, when, and why. Mine pertain to how and with whom. When you know the end result, I always know the fastest way. Fair? ~ The Universe
