Gerald jampolsky quotes

The secret of forgiveness is not to procrastinate, but to free yourself immediately of stress by totally forgiving this instant.

You can choose to be peaceful right here and now ... it has nothing to do with what other people do or think.

More and more people are beginning to feel that there must be another way of thinking, perceiving, and acting. And perhaps the beginning of another way of looking at the world is to re-evaluate all of our beliefs. It is, after all, our beliefs that determine what we are, experience, and expect. When we are willing to take a new look at our own beliefs, we then have an opportunity to begin rediscovering who and what we are and to redetermine our true purpose on Earth.

Peace of mind comes from not wanting to change other, but by simply accepting them as they are. True acceptance is always without demands and expectations.

Whenever we give help, we unfailingly see that the answer to all our needs is already within the very situation we think is hurting us.

The law of Love is based on abundance; we are completely filled with Love all the time, and our supply is always full and running over.

Forgiveness is not a matter of feeling superior, of feeling sorry for our parents because they didn't' know any better. It comes when we understand that as humans we all do the very best we can, and we can't ask for more than that.

All minds are joined. Therefore, all healing is self-healing. Our inner peace will, of itself, pass to others once we accept it for ourselves.

When we release the fearful past and forgive everyone, we will experience total love and oneness with all.
