The Wisdom of Sundays: Life-Changing Insights from Super Soul Conversations by Oprah Winfrey






"Multisensory perception doesn't make us more kind or patient or caring or less angry.  It makes us more aware.  And when you get that sense, the spiritual work begins." Gary Zukav



"Fear is the cheapest room in the house.  I'd like to see you in better living conditions." Hafiz



"The Buddhist teachings begin with this kind of exhortation: Do not forget your original wholeness, your original goodness and beauty, and turn yourself toward what is good." Jack Kornfield



The road to the spiritual path is to understand that you are a spiritual being. And the way to understand that you are a spiritual being is to know that you are not all of those thoughts.



If you want more love in your life, set your intention to be more loving.  If you seek kindness, focus your energy on empathy and compassion.



The consciousness or energy behind the motivation is going to determine the effect that occurs.



"I don’t think we realize that what follows "I am", we're inviting into our life." Joel Osteen



"We sin when we have our loves out of order".  Augustine



"The truth is, you and I are in control of only two things: how we prepare for what might happen, and how we respond to what just happened." Devon Franklin



"[Mindfulness is] a gateway into the full dimensionality of being human and being alive". Jon Kabat-Zinn



Art is prayer.



"Here's the lesson.  When you find yourself in a new situation, a new circumstance, a new life experience, everything that requires healing is going to rush to the surface." Iyanla Vanzant



"Silence can be prayer.  Rage can be prayer.  It's truth.  It's all prayer.  When we are talking to something that the rest of the world may not be seeing right then and when we're talking from the deepest part of our hearts, we're trying to tell the truth.  That's prayer." Anne Lamott



Every single choice we make is either going to enhance the spirit or it's going to drain the spirit.



"The keys to your happiness are no longer in somebody else's pocket".  Adyashanti



"God put a rainbow in every cloud. The rainbow is coming. Say thank you even though you can't see the rainbow.  It's already there." Maya Angelou



"The moment you appreciate, you get out of your own self.  You stop obsessing.  It's like I always tell people, most of your suffering comes from expectation. Right? Trade your expectation for appreciation.  Your whole life changes in that moment." Tony Robbins



"You can't be complaining and miserable ninety percent of your day and expect to feel passionate the other ten percent.  The willingness to take responsibility for your experience on a moment-to-moment basis is what we're missing.  Most of us don't realize passion is an inside job.  It's a muscle that gets stronger the more you use it." Marie Forleo



Ask yourself at the end of the day, "Was I better today than yesterday?".



"It takes fearlessness to seek after truth". Elizabeth Lesser
