Memorable Quotes

"Desire plus non-resistance equals desired result. Whatever desire you have, if you can become non-resistant to it 100% of the time, the results must produce themselves."

"As human beings, we don't actually create anything. There are times in our lives when we align with and participate in the creative force, which is the only true creative force that exists."

"You're not swimming upstream to your goals. You're flowing downstream because your future is actually pulling you into it. You're not trying to push your way out to your future. Your future is pulling you into it."
