Alan Cohen

Your thoughts do not create reality, but they do create your experience.

To love yourself right now, just as you are, is to give yourself heaven. Don’t wait until you die. If you wait, you die now. If you love, you live now.

Humility is born of the spirit, humiliation of the ego.

No response is a response.

When your intention is clear, so is the way.

Do not wait until the conditions are perfect to begin. Beginning makes the conditions perfect.

Use pain as a stepping stone, not a camp ground.

Kindness to self will put you in the perfect attitude and position to be kind to others.

Calm poise reveals the shortest route home.

Scared and sacred are spelled with the same letters. Awful proceeds from the same root word as awesome. Terrify and terrific. Every negative experience holds the seed of transformation.

There is more security in the adventurous and exciting, for in movement there is life, and in change there is power.

Everyone and everything that shows up in our life is a reflection of something that is happening inside of us.

To love yourself right now, just as you are, is to give yourself heaven. Don't wait until you die. If you wait, you die now. If you love, you live now.

Life has meaning only if you do what is meaningful to you.

If you want to find God, hang out in the space between your thoughts.

You will find truth more quickly through delight than gravity. Let out a little more string on your kite.

Don't postpone joy until you have learned all of your lessons. Joy is your lesson.

You are in integrity when the life you are living on the outside matches who you are on the inside.

For everyone you create to be dependent on you you are equally dependent on them. Neither relationship is healthy.

You can always tell what you believe by what you are getting.

Everything will line up perfectly when knowing and living the truth becomes more important than looking good.

Guilt: punishing yourself before God doesn't.

It is not selfish or narcissistic to love yourself. It is your first and foremost responsibility.

The love affair you seek is with yourself.

God is a frequency. Stay tuned.

Guilt punishing yourself before God doesnt.

You are doing better than you think you are.

If you act anxiously to hasten your results you delay their arrival. Calm poise reveals the shortest route home.

What are you accepting that would not be a part of your ideal day?

When you learn to say yes to yourself, you will be able to say no to others, with love.

Every choice before you represents the universe inviting you to remember who you are and what you want.

The purpose of life is not to fight against evil and misfortune; it is to unveil magnificence.

There is virtue in work and there is virtue in rest. Use both and overlook neither.

It takes a lot of courage to release the familiar and seemingly secure to embrace the new. There is more security in the adventurous and exciting for in movement there is life and in change there is power.

If you sense there must be more, there is more.

Do what is healing to your spirit and without effort you will bring the world healing in return.

Put aside ambition for public recognition, and simply do what you do because it feels good inside.

The more you recognize the immense good within you, the more you magnetize immense good around you.

It takes a lot of courage to release the familiar and seemingly secure, to embrace the new. But there is no real security in what is no longer meaningful. There is more security in the adventurous and exciting, for in movement there is life, and in change there is power.

Joy is not the result of getting what you want; it is the way to get what you want. In the deepest sense, joy is what you want.

Your thoughts do not create reality. They either permit it or they do not.

Appreciation is the highest form of prayer, for it acknowledges the presence of good wherever you shine the light of your thankful thoughts.

Anything you believe you have to do or become before you can be free is a denial and distraction from the truth that you are already free.

Be happy with what you have. Be excited about what you want.

The same Source that gave you the idea, will give you the means to see it through.

It takes a lot of courage to release the familiar and seemingly secure in order to embrace the new & unknown.

You can only see in someone else what you see in yourself.

Abundance is not a number or acquisition. It is the simple recognition of enoughness.

You cannot judge what should bring others joy and others cannot judge what should bring you joy.

When we make the choice to care, we set into motion a snowball effect that touches many people, most of whom we will never know about . . . never underestimate the importance of a kind act.

Our history is not our destiny.

Great masters neither want nor need your worship. Your greatest gift to them and yourself is to emulate their divinity by claiming it as your own.
