You cannot have a positive life and a negative mind.

The more you feed your mind with positive thoughts, the more you can attract great things into your life.

When your higher self is present, it always promotes peace.

Creativity is the marriage humanity makes with eternity.

Love is within us. It cannot be destroyed. It can be ignored. To the extent that we abandon love we will feel it has abandoned us. Denying love is our only problem, and embracing it is the only answer. Through the power of love, we can let go of past history and begin again. Love heals, forgives, and makes whole.

That nothing will come into your experience unless you invite it through your thought—with emotional.

The way to create something great is to create something simple.

A creative man is motivated by the desire to achieve, not by the desire to beat others.

Doing a kindness produces the single most reliable momentary increase in well-being of any exercise we have tested.

You are the creator of your experience, and you must create your experience deliberately if you are to have the joyful experience that you meant to have. Unless you, in any moment, are seeing the world through the eyes of Source, then you are but a shadow of the Being that you’ve come forth to be. Which means, if you are doing less than loving whatever it is you’re giving your attention to, you are not who you were really born to be. Negative emotion means you’ve pinched yourself off, to some degree, from who-you-really-are.

The art of love... is largely the art of persistence.

When we love, we always strive to become better than we are. When we strive to become better than we are, everything around us becomes better too.

Don’t look for your dreams to become true; look to become true to your dreams.

We need to fall in love with the process, not just the end product of our work.

You need to create space for your creative process to thrive rather than expect it to operate in the cracks of your frenetic schedule.

Make sure that you’re nurturing your process. It’s the only thing you can truly control, and it’s the thing you’ll always have regardless of where you end up.

Exceptional people, I have found, either start out being optimistic or learn to be optimistic because they realize that they can’t get what they want in life without being optimistic.

Your desire to make art -- beautiful or meaningful or emotive art -- is integral to your sense of who you are.

Make stuff you love and talk about stuff you love and you’ll attract people who love that kind of stuff. It’s that simple.

The second reason creativity is so fascinating is that when we are involved in it, we feel that we are living more fully than during the rest of life.

To labor in the arts for any reason other than love is prostitution.

This is the other secret that real artists know and wannabe writers don’t. When we sit down each day and do our work, power concentrates around us. The Muse takes note of our dedication. She approves. We have earned favor in her sight. When we sit down and work, we become like a magnetized rod that attracts iron filings. Ideas come. Insights accrete.

To love someone fiercely, to believe in something with your whole heart, to celebrate a fleeting moment in time, to fully engage in a life that doesn’t come with guarantees – these are risks that involve vulnerability and often pain. But, I’m learning that recognizing and leaning into the discomfort of vulnerability teaches us how to live with joy, gratitude and grace.

True creativity is impossible without some measure of passion.

People are most creative when they care about their work and they're stretching their skills.

Love is the burning point of life, and since all life is sorrowful, so is love. The stronger the love, the more the pain. Love itself is pain, you might say -the pain of being truly alive. 

Creativity is not just for artists. It’s for businesspeople looking for a new way to close a sale; it’s for engineers trying to solve a problem; it’s for parents who want their children to see the world in more than one way.

If the creative process is so powerful, it would be natural to wonder why many artists have difficulties in their lives. It is because they do not know what they know. 

In the creative process you do not make choices about what you do not want. You make choices about what you do want.

At first, I am giving energy to the creation, but later the creation seems to be giving energy to me.
