QUOTES EXCERPTS In the hustle bustle of our world today, we often forget that restoration is a vital part of the journey.  It is your job to find places of inspiration, healing and comfort and then to go there often.  They are yours for the asking, but you must do the seeking.  This is a collection of passages that have inspired Marcella over the years.  You may want to bookmark this section as it will be updated from time to time.

It is only when we realize that life is taking us nowhere that it begins to have meaning.  -P. D. Ouspensky

You can have anything you want if you want it desperately enough.  You must want it with an exuberance that erupts through the skin and joins the energy that created the world.  -Sheila Graham

If things are easy for us, then they are not lessons but are things we already know.  -Louise L. Hay

We must never cease from exploration.  And the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we began and to know the place for the first time.  -T. S. Eliot

Do only those things that create your higher purpose, and you will have more time.  --Sanaya Roman, Spiritual Growth:  Being Your Higher Self

Saying no to negativity also means not being around negative people.  Negative people deplete your energy.  Surround yourself with love and nourishment and do not allow the creation of negativity in your environment.   -Deepak Chopra, M.D., Creating Affluence: Wealth Consciousness in the Field of All Possibilities Inspiration is the moment in which the spirit within is accessed and revealed.  Inspiration dawns when something in your outer world sparks a flame within you and calls forth a message.  It arrives to remind you that all your answers lie inside of you, and that you alone are the wisest wizard in your kingdom.  -Cherie Carter-Scott, Ph.D., If Life is a Game, These are the Rules

You must begin to trust yourself.  If you do not then you will forever be looking to others to prove your own merit to you, and you will never be satisfied.  You will always be asking others what to do, and at the same time resenting those from whom you seek such aid.   -Jane Roberts, The Nature of Personal Reality

Do not be afraid to be seen for who you are.  If you have nothing to defend, life becomes easier, for you do not have to pretend to be anything you are not.  -Sanaya Roman, Personal Power Through Awareness

Becoming is unfolding from limitation into unlimitedness.  It is the essence of freedom, the essence of your expression without limitation.  To become unlimited means change, and not all wish to change.  It takes courage to be what you are, but once seen, it is joyous; and it is easier to be a god than not to be one.  -Khit Harding, Becoming: A Master's Manual (Based on the teachings of Ramtha as channeled by J.Z. Knight)

To consider the supreme One as having a form means that one is thinking of the undivided as being divided.  Sun, moon, stars, space, fire, water, and earth are but mere aspects of the whole; they are only small parts of the infinite.  Instead of meditation on one individual aspect of the universe, the wise meditate on the supreme fountainhead of life and light from which proceeds the whole universe.  -Swami Rama, Perennial Psychology of the Bhagavad Gita

The Universe provides you with opportunities, again and again, without cessation, to move into the fullness of your power-into the unobstructed perception of your worth, value, and responsibilities.  -Gary Zukav & Linda Francis, The Heart of the Soul

The possibilities for joy are limitless if we can do what feels good to us-in work, in life, in love, in play.  You have the power to create joy by choosing what feels good to you.  The time for joy isn't later.  The time for joy is now.  --Melody Beattie, Journey to the Heart: Daily Meditations on the Path to Freeing Your Soul

You came into this life with nothing to learn-you have only to demonstrate what you already know.  In the demonstration of it will you function it out, and create yourself anew, through your experience.  Thus do you justify life, and give it purpose.  Thus do you render it holy.  -Neale Donald Walsch, Conversations with God  An Uncommon Dialogue ( Book 1)

Your truth is your power.  The truth is the most freeing discovery you can make.  To be free of the fear of death, to be free of distrust, of limitation, to be free to be who you really are-these are the gifts that you will receive by paying the price of introspection and honesty.  Human life is a most difficult classroom until you learn the simple fact that your truth is your power, your salvation, your fulfillment, your purpose and your way.  Once you can truly believe that life becomes the joyous and abundant garden that it is meant to be.  -Pat Rodegast & Judith Stanton, Emmanuels's Book

If we do not claim the soul's power on our own behalf, we become its victims.  We suffer our emotions rather than feel them working for us.  We hold our thoughts and passions inward, disconnecting them from life, and then they stir up trouble within, making us feel profoundly unsettled or, it seems, turning into illness.   -Thomas Moore, Care of the Soul

You are constantly receiving guidance and assistance from your guides and Teachers, and from the Universe itself.  When you choose consciously to move toward the energy of your soul, you invite that guidance.  When you ask the Universe to bless you in your effort to align yourself with your soul, you open a passageway between yourself and your guides and Teachers.  You assist their efforts to assist you.  You invoke the power of the nonphysical world.   That is what a blessing is: the opening of a passageway between you and nonphysical guidance.  -Gary Zukav, The Seat of the Soul
