Kindle Notes & Highlights

Imagine that the Universe is arranging itself just for you to give you the gifts of consciousness you have asked for.
You are seeding the world with new thoughtforms.
Joy is an inner note that you sound as you move through the day.
The path of joy deals with present and not future time.
People may have taught you that self-worth comes from being busy. There are two kinds of busyness, however. Personality-directed activities are often based on “shoulds” and do not express your higher purpose. Soul-directed activity is always an expression of your higher purpose.
True joy comes from operating with inner-directedness and recognizing who you are.
You may have many reasons why you cannot change your life right now. If you do not create reasons why you can, change will always be a future thought, and you will not be on the path of joy.
Your great challenge is to not be distracted by that which happens in front of you, or is pulling on you or calling to you, but instead to find your center and magnetize to yourself all those things that are in alignment with your inner being.
This is a good book to read.
You all have active imaginations; they are your doorways out of where you are.
The path of compassion does not obligate you to love people regardless of how they act or who they are. It is a path of seeing the truth of who people are, acknowledging all their parts, their humanness as well as their divinity. It is the path of looking at people and asking, “Is there anything you can do to heal, assist, or bring them in touch with their higher vision?” If there is not, then you are pulling down your own energy by spending time with them.
gratitude is magnetic.
Have you been willing to trust the Universe to give the opportunity to you? And even more, are you prepared to handle the money when it comes? Do you feel you deserve it?
The path of joy involves valuing yourself and monitoring where you put your time.
What you love is a sign from your higher self of what you are to do.
Know that you are always being shown the next step; it is always something that comes to your mind as an obvious, simple, and joyful thing to do.
When you wake up, ask yourself what you could do today that would bring you joy and delight. Put a smile on your face, rather than focusing on how you are going to get through another day. Do not focus on the problems you have to handle.
You will have joy only when you focus on having it and settle for nothing less.
Compassion is caring for yourself — valuing yourself and your time. You do not owe anyone your time. When you take charge of yourself and affirm that you are a unique and valuable person, the world will affirm it to you also.
Do not judge purpose by the standards of others, or by what society has told you are the best things to do.
Compassion is outside of judgment. It is simple acceptance, the ability to love and to value yourself and whatever path of higher purpose unfolds.
Now that you have reached a new level of being, you may be tempted to look back at the past with regret. You may think of many higher, more loving ways you could have handled some issues and situations. Yet those very incidents provided you with the growth that allows you now to see a better way of behaving.
You cannot leave something until you love it. The more you hate something, the more you are bound to it; the more you love something, the freer you are. So as you love your past, you become free from it. When you can think of your childhood and your parents and know that they were perfect for the path you are on, you are then free of the effects of your past. As you change your negative memories into positive understanding, you can go even faster into your new future.
If you are facing decisions or troubles, imagine yourself five years from now looking back at today, viewing the overall picture. Then link with that self of the future. From that perspective it would be much simpler to know what to do today. You could even imagine you are your future self, then share with your current self from that future perspective.
The emotional body has the most to gain from reframing everything into the positive, for every time you say a negative word to yourself or make yourself wrong, your emotional body changes its vibration and your energy drops. When the vibration becomes lower, your magnetism changes, and you attract to yourself people and events that amplify this drop in energy.
if you focus on bringing out the good in other people, seeing their beauty and sharing with them what you love about them, you will find the areas that were giving you problems begin to resolve themselves, even though you have not worked directly on finding solutions.
Loving people is a commitment to hold a high vision of them, even as time and familiarity take their toll.
If, instead, you accept another’s worldview as simply different from yours, you will not need to do anything other than love him or her.
Being positive does not mean being blind. It means being willing to recognize the good in others and to turn the focus away from what is different or wrong (to you).
When you catch people complaining, simply say to them, “Stop.” Learn to use your voice to halt people’s energy when they start complaining. If you listen to people gripe, if you listen to their negativity, you put yourself in a position where you can be affected by their lower energy.
Loving yourself means accepting yourself as you are right now.
Do not make yourself wrong because you have not yet achieved your vision. It is important to love who you are now without reservation.
The challenge of loving yourself is to step aside from everything people tell you and ask, “Does this fit me? Does this bring me joy? Do I feel good when I do it?” Ultimately your own experience is what counts.
Loving yourself means stepping outside of guilt.
The inability to say no to people reflects a worldview that says other people’s feelings are more important than yours, that their rights are more significant, and that you should consider their feelings first.
Self-respect means acting on your values and what you say you believe in.
Often, what you think are your values turn out to be “shoulds” given to you by others, and when you actually live them, you find they do not work for you.
It is important to examine your values and either live by them or change them.
Blaming others will always take away your power. If you can discover why you are choosing to feel hurt by other people’s actions, you will learn much about yourself.
Self-worth means paying attention to how you feel.
Let your feelings be real for you and honor them.
The relationships you have with others can only be as good as the relationships they have with themselves. If they do not know how to love themselves, that limits how much they can love you. No matter how hard you try, how many nice things you do, they cannot give you the love you seek. Forgiveness is the key to feeling good about how others treat you. Then, release any anger you may feel, simply let it go and focus on other things.
Some of you feel your parents are responsible for your lack of self-esteem. You cannot blame your parents, as it was your reaction to them that created any lack of confidence.
Self-esteem comes from being willing to acknowledge who you are and love yourself just as you are right now.
All people are valuable, beautiful, and unique.
Honor your feelings, but do so in such a way that you also honor the feelings of others.
You can say, “I feel hurt,” rather than, “You hurt me.” A powerful way to state this is, “I am choosing to feel hurt,” for every feeling you have is one you have chosen.
Self-worth is knowing that you are choosing your feelings at every moment.
I will say that true power is the ability to motivate, love, encourage, and assist people in recognizing who they are.
Pay attention to your higher nature, and your lower one will simply wither from lack of attention.
If you want to bring more great accomplishments into your life, then take them in stride when they happen.
