"Whenever you're facing any form of resistance, gratitude has the power to quickly dissolve it. This is true whether the hindrance comes from inside of you or outside of you."

"Awareness is like a staircase: each step brings you up one more level, and the farther you ascend, the more you can."

"Abundance gives you the power of freedom. Be abundant right now... feel what it feels like to be abundant. Feeling abundant will wipe out lack. Abundance is ever flowing. There IS enough. The secret is to "act as if" you already are abundant. A more powerful thing for you to do to experience more abundance is to: cause another person to experience abundance. This works because you couldn't cause another person to feel abundance if you didn't have abundance. You might want to play that back one more time. You're not separate from abundance, only your thinking makes it so. Abundance hasn't been reserved for a select few - it's yours, it's available to you just like it is the next guy/girl. Wayne Dyer taught me a powerful abundance statement, which is: "I attract success and abundance into my life because that is who I am." That is who you are too. You are abundance. Use that affirmation anytime you start to feel that old lack mentality creeping in."

"Look beneath your envy and uncover the belief I can't have that because it's out of my reach financially, then ask yourself, What is it about that car, that home, or that lifestyle [or whatever it is you're coveting] that makes me want it so much? Maybe it will be a long time before you have a Jaguar or a Porsche in your driveway, but what does that car mean to you? What does?"
