The intention to grow, to expand, to experience, to know, to understand, to love, to give, to receive, to evolve, to create, to become more, is the deepest desire of our soul.
The journey from external power to authentic power is a journey of reclaiming our authentic power, the power that comes from the human spirit. It is the journey of becoming the authority of your own life.
Every action, thought, and feeling is motivated by an intention, and that intention is a cause that exists as one with an effect. If we participate in the cause, it is not possible for us to not participate in the effect.
When you align your personality with your soul, you are not at the mercy of any external event, condition, influence, or circumstance.
The heart is the gateway to the soul. It is the seat of the soul.
The more you create a life of love, the more you live in the soul.
We are all students and teachers. We all have something to learn and something to teach.
Authentic power is the real deal. It is the real stuff. It is not the ability to manipulate and control. It is the ability to sense, value, and act upon the highest and best within ourselves and others.
The more you create a life of power, the more you live in the personality.
The universe is a system of balance. Every imbalance has a way to correct itself.
Evolution is the process of the universe seeking to know itself.
The soul's journey is to create the highest, grandest vision and version of oneself, and to become the grandest version of the greatest vision that we ever held about who we are.
