Success is... living a full and balanced life in partnership with others to create a joyful feeling of love, contribution, appreciation and abundance, despite how our endeavors may turn out.

The only way to get rid of the fear of doing something is to go out... and do it.

I am powerful and I am loving.

I have much to give to this world.

I am a person of worth.

I deserve love.

I am a capable person.

My life has meaning.

My life is unfolding perfectly.

There is plenty of time.

By learning to trust your intuition, miracles seem to happen. Intuitive thoughts are gifts from the higher self.

Your inner peace has nothing to do with your dramas of your life.

The biggest pitfall as you make your way through life is impatience. Remember that being impatient is simply a way of punishing yourself. It creates stress, dissatisfaction, and fear.

The biggest pitfall as you make your way through life is impatience.

We don't have to wait until we are old to gather the riches... We can gather them every day of our lives.

Look at people in your life as practice. The way you react to them allows you to see what you have to work on within yourself.

Commitment creates a powerful radiant energy that activates all sorts of miracles within and around you.

The knowledge that you can handle anything that comes your way is the key to allowing yourself to take risks. ... security is not having things; it's handling things.

Shift from being afraid of making a mistake to being afraid of not making a mistake. If you are not making any mistakes, you are not learning or growing.

Every time you encounter something that forces you to handle it, your self-esteem is raised considerably. You learn to trust that you will survive, no matter what happens. And in this way your fears are diminished immeasurably.

As your awareness of the riches available to you in your everyday life grows, you are on the way to becoming the laughing Buddha. Life is joyous. Life is Light. Life is happy. You are awake at last.

Obviously, the real issue has nothing to do with fear itself, but, rather, how we hold the fear. For some, the fear is totally irrelevant. For others, it creates a state of paralysis. The former hold their fear from a position of power (choice, energy, and action), and the latter hold it from a position of pain (helplessness, depression, and paralysis).

We become powerful in the face of our fears when we have a sense that we make a difference in this world. We are all meaningful participants in this Universe and worthy of giving and receiving love. Some affirmations of purpose are: I know that I count and I act as though I do. I spread warmth and love everywhere I go. I am a healing force in the Universe.

There

is not a person alive who is not capable of greatly contributing to the

well -- being of this planet. Just changing your attitude can affect the

world around you.

So commit! Commit yourself to pushing through the fear and becoming more than you are at the present moment. The you that could be is absolutely colossal.

I said to myself: 'You mean all those people out there that I've been envying because they're not afraid to move ahead with their lives have really been afraid? Why didn't somebody tell me!?' I guess I never asked.

Dancing with life is moving into the flow of our experiences -- good or bad -- with a feeling of harmony, trust, guidance and love.
