"First, don't go to bed angry, this may take some work, but it is worth it…Anger is heavy. It is a big deal to carry. If you have it on your shoulders when you go to sleep, it will still be there when you wake up. When you let your anger go, you lighten up. The same is true for every painful emotion- regret, guilt, shame, jealousy, and all the rest of them. Let them go before you sleep."
Gary Zukav

"The world's distorted concept is that you have to get other people's love before you can feel love within. The law of love is different from the world's law. The law of love is that you are love, and that as you give love to others you teach yourself what you are."
Gerald Jampolsky, MD

"It is extremely rare to find a successful person that whines, complains, and frets about her circumstances. This is despite the fact that she may have overcome great obstacles to achieve her level of success. The real question is: What came first-the attitude or the success?

Richard Carlson, PhD.

"Prayer, when it is offered in the right way, redeems people from isolation. It assures them that they need not feel alone and abandoned.

Harold Kushner

"Relief from fear, guilt, anger, depression or doubt signals movement towards recovery. Relief means a lifted spirit, a happier, healthier, more positive outlook and attitude.

James Loehr, Ed.D.

"The central point the doctor had made about the quality of life is worth stressing. Not every illness can be overcome. But many people allow illness to disfigure their lives more than it should. They cave in needlessly. They ignore and weaken whatever powers they may have for standing erect. There is always a margin within which life can be lived with meaning and even with a certain measure of joy, despite illness."
Norman Cousins

"Mature intimacy and love are not based upon expectations, since no one, not even a saint, can know or meet all of our expectations, to expect from others is to count pain and disappointment. The only valid expectation of love lies in the hope that those we love will become themselves, as we do the same."
Leo Buscaglia, Ph.D.

"Almost always people fail not because they lack the possibility of inner strength, but because they just don't give it all they got. They hold back a little bit."
Dr. Norman Vincent Peale

"Feelings are our most helpful link to our relationship with ourselves, others, and the world around us, and they are an indication of what's working or not working within our lives. Shutting them off only leads to more complex problems and physical illness. What you can feel, you can heal."
Louise Hay

"Possibilitizing means imagining, visualizing, praying, multiplying, overcoming, anticipating, toughening, maneuvering, rebounding, and overpowering the problem."
Dr. Robert Schuller

Joan Borysenko, Ph.D.

"Courage means flying in the face of criticism, relying on yourself, being willing to accept and learn from the consequences of all your choices. It means believing enough in yourself and in living your life as you choose so that you cut the strings who's ends other people hold and use to pull you in contrary directions."
Dr. Wayne Dyer
