You can only succeed. You cannot fail. Failure is impossible; it is an illusion. Nothing is a failure. Nothing. Everything moves the human story, and hence the process of evolution, forward. Everything advances you on your journey.

Words may help you understand something, but experience allows you to know. Never ever trade your own experience for someone else's words about anything that is really important... like God, for instance, or Love, or what is true about another.

---

Glorify who you are today, do not condemn who you were yesterday, and dream of who you can be tomorrow.

---

No effort is ever wasted, although some pay dividends later than you think. Do not imagine that you "wasted your time" because something didn't turn out right. There is no such thing as "waste" in the Universe. Everything - everything - yields benefit. It's true. And your life will show you this. So don't decry the "effort that failed." All things lead to your highest good. You just may not know it yet.

What is important in your life is what you decide is important -- and this decision will indelibly create who you are

---

Nothing happens in life by accident. Nothing occurs by chance. Nothing takes place without producing the opportunity for real and lasting benefit to you. The perfection of every moment may not be apparent to you, yet that will make the moment no less perfect.

---

Consider the possibility that the little obstacles in life are not obstacles at all, but stepping stones.

---

Life begins now -- right now -- not tomorrow or the next day or the next. Every minute of every hour of every day, life begins anew. That means everything can change in an instant. It also means you can have a new beginning whenever you want.

---

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.

---

If only you knew all the gifts that you bring to others. You would never feel sad again.
