Thoughts gathered from Unity on The Bay, Sunday Service

“There is no reason not to follow your heart. Those that think that they are crazy enough to try to change the world, are the ones that do.” ~ Steve Jobs.

“Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.” ~ Jalal ad-Din Rumi quotes

It is time to start taking responsibility, to embrace it and not to run away from it through addictive behaviors. Clean up your mess because in truth you are whole, perfect and beautiful.

This is the time for radical faith, and for becoming fearless in the face of fear. It is not the time for playing it small.

Shift your territory…
Open and expand your heart, and your field.

Every time you make someone wrong, you are closing your heart. Let go of the need to always be right. If you want to learn the art of patience, practice the life of non-resistance.

Be a lover of what is. Accept what is…
Then breathe, and begin to listen with compassion.

Vision without action is a dream, action without vision is a nightmare.
