• You cannot persist in wanting what you already have. If you assume you are what you desire to be to the point of ecstasy, you no longer want it. Your imaginal act is as much a creative act as a physical one wherein man halts, shrinks and is blessed, for as man creates his own likeness, so does your imaginal act transform itself into the likeness of your assumption. If, however, you do not reach the point of satisfaction, repeat the action over and over again until you feel as though you touched it and virtue went out of you.

  Neville Goddard

• Let no one pray that they know not sorrow,
  Let no soul ask to be free from pain,
  For the gall of to-day is the sweet of to-morrow,
  And the moment's loss is the lifetime's gain.
  Through want of a thing does its worth redouble,
  Through hunger's pangs does the feast content,
  And only the heart that has harboured trouble
  Can fully rejoice when joy is sent.
  Let no one shrink from the bitter tonics
  Of grief, and yearning, and need, and strife,
  For the rarest chords in the soul's harmonics
  Are found in the minor strains of life.

  Ella Wheeler Wilcox

  Sweet, Pain, Grief

• I think people resist freedom because they're afraid of the unknown. But it's ironic....That unknown was once very well known. It's where our souls belong....The only solution is to confront them - confront yourself - with the greatest fear imaginable. Expose yourself to your deepest fear. After that, fear has no power, and fear of freedom shrinks and vanishes. You are free.

  Jim Morrison

• Only if you reach the boundary will the boundary recede before you. And if you don't, if you confine your efforts, the boundary will shrink to accommodate itself to your efforts. And you can only expand your capacities by working to the very limit.
