CHANGE THE WORLD
1. We all have a divine light within us and when we choose to share it, we leave a positive imprint on the world. By putting this into practice in the smaller spaces—in an e-mail, at the grocery store, with our families—we build our inspirational and compassionate muscles, which can then be flexed in other, perhaps “bigger” ways, such as situations that feel more challenging. (page 18)
2. Creating a meaningful life isn’t about following a one-size-fits-all magic formula or compartmentalizing our lives and selves into separate categories of worthiness, but about finding and developing daily habits that work with the details of your life. (page 29)
3. Every step taken toward your most passionate, meaningful life is the highest service you can offer the world. (page 79)
4. By staying true to myself I ensure that what I give to the world will be unique, special, and one-of-a-kind. (page 88)
5. Abundance, inspiration, opportunities and insights are available to everyone—in every moment—and because each of us is in the process of living a wholly unique life, there is no need to worry that these gifts will be threatened by the success or contributions of anyone else. (page 90)
6. Whether a moment instills joy, fear, shock or excitement, it is all energy that I am capable of transforming and using creatively. (page 102)
7. Great, even brilliant, ideas might be easy to come by, but following them through to their ultimate expression takes perseverance, tenacity, grit, passion, commitment and a steadfast, if not unwavering, belief in ourselves and in our ability to creatively transmute a challenge into an opportunity. (page 105)
8. If being a Force of Good is about discovering the light within and letting it shine in as many directions as possible, then being of service to others is about directing that unique light where it is most needed. (page 114)
