"First, we all make way too much of all of this. This business of deliberate creation can be turned into an engineering feat. But the true power of your experience lies in the silence between the words, and the vibrational rhythm between the thoughts, and the ease between the effort, and the peace between the trying. The true power is in allowing the Universe to yield to you what you've already queued up for it. So think as long as it's fun. And try as long as it's easy. And speak as long as it feels good. And otherwise, take a nap."


"Life is supposed to be good. It's supposed to feel fun. People are supposed to be your friends. They're supposed to evoke from you good things. You're supposed to evoke from them good things. You are not supposed to all want the same things. You have come with great variety. It's not virtuous to be the same. It's not inappropriate to be different. In other words, all of it's all right. Just make a decision that no matter what, you're going to feel good and you're not gonna let all these petty little things that have been worrisome for so long, that you've been taught by so many who are around you, you're just not going to play that game any more. Next time somebody puts you in a position where you feel that way just a little bit, stop and say, 'Oh, yeah -? I promised myself I wasn't going to do that any more." And they say, 'Do what?' And you say, 'Worry about what you think.' 'I promised myself I wasn't going to do that any more. I promised myself I was going to give myself the benefit of the doubt and give you the benefit of the doubt and assume that you love me." And we don't think one of them will say, 'Well, you're wrong -- I don't. "

"You acknowledge that your Inner Being exists? And we say to you that your Inner Being is very old, it has lived thousands of Life experiences. Your Inner Being sits now as the culmination of all that you have lived -- very decided, very sure and very happy -- in a place that by your standards, you would say is PURE ECSTASY. Your role, your work is to harmonize with YOU, which means -- Think thoughts that make you feel good -- Speak words that make you feel good."

"If we were standing in your physical shoes, that would be our dominant quest: Entertaining Yourself, pleasing Yourself, connecting with Yourself, being Yourself, enjoying Yourself, loving Yourself. Some say, "Well, Abraham you teach selfishness." And we say, yes we do, yes we do, yes we do, because unless you are selfish enough to reach for that connection, you don't have anything to give anyone, anyway. And when you are selfish enough to make that connection—you have an enormous gift that you give everywhere you are"
