Wisdom Keys

     What are keys? They are pieces of wisdom that resonate with you, that you can carry with you and reflect on in order to assist you in unlocking the intentions and goals you've set for yourself. Keys can be quotes, images, or objects. 

     There are many ways to use keys, from placing them on your computer screen to carrying them in your pockets to keeping them in a portable notebook. My own keys are written on little pieces of handmade paper, folded up, and rest in a lovely bowl. Each time I pass the bowl, I take out a key and reflect on it for a few moments, knowing I'll always attract just the right key at just the right time.

     Here, I'm sharing some of my own keys with you in hopes that any of these words may help you open the doors to your desires and dreams. They are keys from my latest book, Delighting the Soul.

Let your heart rule and your mind serve: you'll lift up your humanity to a new level.

Find and do what brings you joy. Learn to think, feel and act in ways that cause joy to flow through you.

In your pursuit of joy--you will discover your mission.

Be willing to give up values and beliefs that no longer serve you.

Are you willing to give up the reality of the world around you and create your own?

There is nothing you need to become, nothing that needs to happen, in order for you to be happy with who you are.

Joy does not come when you have achieved your life purpose--it is what allows you to achieve it.

It is always, always this moment that determines the shape of the next one.

The only failure in life is not choosing for yourself how you are going to live it.

You have to put your own needs and desires above everyone and everything precisely in order to serve everyone and everything.

You are here to uplift humanity in your own unique way! You are also here to learn. You'll achieve neither unless you embrace the Self within you, which is what selfishness really means.

When you dance with your Soul, joy becomes the primary rhythm of your life.

Authentic living means that you are able to distinguish the threshold of 'enough' from the endless yearning for more and more.

Do not seek material and financial wealth as a substitute for authentic engagement in life.

When you give up the effort of trying to be what society says you should be, you make space for your true gifts and talents to emerge.

When you allow the fullness of who you are to step into the light, healing happens.

To wish to limit the experiences of another is also to limit your own.

Authenticity is about being a world maker, not a world dweller.

Stop willing it and start being it. That is the true secret to deliberate creation.

If at the core of your very being you do not believe that you are in charge of your life, thinking and visualizing what you desire will just not work.

If you want to change your life, you must first change your beliefs about who you are.

You are the builder of your life.

Your life is always a mirror reflecting your own concept of yourself.

When you are joyful in who you are, you automatically attract everything else to you without trying.

Any action you take that is rooted in inspiration is the right action.

When you understand the redemptive power of your imagination you will understand that you contain a genie within you, a solution to every problem and a bringer of every desire.

The purpose of your life is effortlessly fulfilled when you follow your bliss. Joy is the compass for this journey.
