Alan Cohen

If someone thinks you can help or heal them, and you think you can__, choose their faith over your doubt.

All hatred of others is a reflection of self-hatred. All love of others is a reflection of self-love.

This moment has nothing to do with the last one unless you choose the past to continue.

The ego romanticizes the past to avoid the true romance of the present.

Only the ego resists egos. The spirit may notice egos, but sees beyond them and does not engage with them.

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

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

Everything you think, feel, say, and do contains seeds of more of itself.

Money is but one venue for generosity.Kindness is an even more valuable currency.

You have the power to take away someone's happiness by refusing to forgive. That someone is you.

Forgiveness doesn__ make wrong things right. It remembers that what is right far outshines what is wrong.

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

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.

Truly creative people care little about what they have done, and a lot about what they are doing.

Your greatest contribution to helping other people live their destiny is for you to live your own.

Apply analysis when appropriate, but keep it on a short leash when joy beckons.

The power you give others belongs to you. Take it back and take yourself where you would go.

Work may be your dominant thought, and joy an afterthought. But joy is your true purpose, and work the afterthought.
