Michael Beckwith quotes:

If you are not thinking for yourself, someone else is thinking for you. Choose for yourself and become free from society's undertow. The Universe is ready to support you.

Gratitude places you in the energy field of plentitude. Perceiving life in a consciousness of gratitude is literally stepping into another dimension of living. Suddenly the seeming ordinariness of your days takes on a divine sparkle.

The beautiful thing about the law of attraction is that you can begin where you are, and you can begin to think, real thinking, and you can begin to generate within yourself a feeling tone of harmony and happiness. The law will begin to respond to that.

You are at a choice-point in every moment of each circumstance, each activity, spoken word and thought.

Meditation and prayer have withstood the test of time. They work today as perfectly as they did for those who first practised and perfected them.

Stop looking outside for help. You're sourced and fuelled and funded by a renewable resource, which is within you. It never runs out. It is your Essence. It's your life.

Learn to become still. And to take your attention away from what you don't want, and all the emotional charge around it, and place your attention on what you wish to experience.

And you can break yourself free from your hereditary patterns, cultural codes, social beliefs; and prove once and for all that the power within you is greater than the power that's in the world.

The answer to any challenge you are having has nothing to do with God's willingness to help. It has to do with your acceptance of how the Infinite is already active within you, how it has already placed within you all that you need to solve and dissolve inner conflict through conscious communion with the Self.

This is the great Secret of life.

Affirmations don't make something happen; they make something welcome.

Ah, the first step in humility: Listening.

Authentic happiness comes from being in conscious connection with our inner being rather than dependency on outer things and circumstances which are constantly in a state of flux.

Be a beneficial presence on the planet. Give your Gifts. Boldly go where no woman or no man has ever gone before.

We've gotten caught up in thinking we are what we look like, the physical, the exterior. We think we're the lamp shade. We've forgotten that we are the light-the electricity and the luminosity that lights up every man, woman, and child. The light is who we truly are.

Energy flows where attention goes.

If the grass is greener somewhere else...start watering your own lawn!

Today, continue to nourish your dreams. Hold fast to your vision and do something every day to bring it into manifestation. Everything is possible in God, because God is the infinite Possibility within everything. Know that you are God's Beloved in whom God is pleased. Never giving up on yourself is what it takes to be your own hero.

When we shift from negatively complaining to positively affirming, conditions change. Then complaining is no longer the operative law in our life-freedom is.

A bad day for the ego is a good day for the soul.

A person all wrapped up in themselves makes for a mighty small package.

A spiritual intention is a resounding YES to awakening to your fullest potential. It may include several of your life structures: mental, emotional, financial, relational - because there is no aspect of your life that is not spiritual.

Along with my spiritual practices of meditation, affirmative prayer, and visioning, what catalyzes my sense of aliveness is putting those practices into action by being of service to others.

Behind every problem, there is a question trying to ask itself... Behind every question there is an answer trying to reveal itself. Behind every answer there is an action trying to take place. And behind every action there is a way of life trying to be born.

Grow deep roots to harvest rich fruit! When your roots run deep, you cannot help but bear the fruit of the Spirit.

When a caterpillar spins its cocoon, it goes through a transformative process and then emerges as a butterfly. Similarly, when we go through a practice of meditation and prayer, we loosen our egoic grip on a sense of self that is separate from the Whole and become vehicles of the emergent evolutionary paradigm of love, peace , compassion, wisdom, harmony and oneness that seeks expression on the planet.

Each time we bring to routine activities an awareness of 'now,' we raise our vibratory frequency and cause the freshness of the moment to fall upon us.

At some point you have to own up to how great you are, how beautiful you are, to how much inner dignity and potential you have. Drop complaining about what other people didn't give you or do for you, or how they mistreated you. Take repossession of your Self and you will rise to a level of greatness that has been yours all along.

Authentic gratitude is a way of life. When you wake up in the morning let your first thought be one of thanksgiving that you have another day to walk in the love of God. As you go through your day, see the Giver behind all of the gifts freely being given to you.

Be for something and against nothing.

Complaint is a prayer to the devil.

Creation is always happening. Every time and individual has a thought, or a prolonged chronic way of thinking, they're in the creation process. Something is going to manifest out of those thoughts.

Do you live in a mine field or a garden? When we live in a minefield mentality, we explode with the weeds of worry, doubt, fear, lack and limitation. Choose to cultivate your inner garden!

Do you press the "pause" button - the "until" button in life by saying "I can't be happy until..."? All this accomplishes is a delay in your entry into your innate state of happiness, which is independent of outer circumstances. So press the "play" button and rejoice in the now-ness of the moment!

Don't look for your dreams to come true; look to become true to your dreams.

Fall forward, in your failing, and rise up with a soul on fire!

Going back to my mother's passing, there was no way I could hold back my tears or sense of grief at knowing her physical presence left the planet. Working consciously with such an in-my-face overwhelmingly painful loss, I was able to process it to the point of accepting that although my relationship with her would be different, I could still sense and celebrate that there was no separation between our spirits. Being present and open to each stage of grief eventually led to her visiting me in my dreams and a tangible sense of her presence.

Gratitude places you in the energy field of plentitude. Glow with gratitude and see how awe and joy will make their home in you.

Happiness and joy are inner qualities that can't be shaken by outer circumstances because they are inherent within the core Self.

Happiness is a natural state of being.

Happiness is the natural state of our being

Human beings have a tendency to push away unwanted pain, but my experience is that when I give my consent to it, it delivers its gift and moves on.

I am available to more good than I have ever experienced, imagined, or realized before in my life.

I am inspiring and activating others to wake up to their unique selves to anchor the next stage of our unfoldment.

I believe that you're great, that there's something magnificent about you. Regardless of what has happened to you in your life, regardless of how young or how old you think you might be, the moment you begin to think properly, this something that is within you, this power within you that's greater than the world, it will begin to emerge. It will take over your life. It will feed you, it will clothe you, it will guide you, protect you, direct you, sustain your very existence. If you let it! Now that is what I know, for sure.

If you are not living in joy, you are out of integrity with your soul.

If you want love, love somebody.

Integrity is about being integrated with the spiritual values of the Universe. It is also about being happy, because happiness and joy mean that you're coming into integrity with your soul.

It has been proven now scientifically that, an affirmative thought is hundreds of times more powerful than a negative thought.

It's a wonderful destiny! God made no mistakes when God wrote the beautiful, unfolding pattern of delight as You!

I've seen many miracles take place in people's lives. Financial miracles, miracles of physical healing, mental healing, healing of relationships.

Know that you're coming from plentitude and abundance. You lack nothing. You have star power.

Lasting happiness starts with one question...what can I celebrate?

Living in an inner state of vulnerability is a powerful practice that opens our hearts, causing us to live in a state of gratitude for our life and life itself.

Love: You're not meant to wait for it. You're not meant to search for it. You're meant to generate it.

Mediocrity always attacks excellence.

Mistakes are about getting the blessing in the lesson and the lesson in the blessing.

Naturally, when life's lessons knock at the door of our life, happiness can be momentarily obscured.

Our journey into consciousness of wealth begins with the realization that we have already arrived!

Our primordial purpose is to respond to the impulsion from within to solve the mystery of our individual existence, to find and be the authentic Self that is, has been and ever shall be.

Our universe is not a 'was' or a 'will be' system. It is an 'is' system vibrating within the 'now' measurement of time.

Pain pushes until vision pulls.

Problems can only exist if they have your attention.

Realizing that I can't control or change the impermanence of things in human life is daunting.

Silently repeat to yourself: I forgive myself for any ways in which I knowingly or unknowingly caused hurt or harm to any living being or creature. I forgive all who have ever hurt or harmed me. Everything between us is now cleared up.

So as you are beginning your day anchor yourself in the truth. Know that all is well. Extend this to your friends, colleagues and all that you meet. That life is for YOU! It is never against you.

Stand fully in the now moment with gratitude, enthusiasm, openness, and readiness to respond to Life as it greets you.

Stop the mental chatter about what's wrong and what's not complete. There is a presence of Love that is seeking to express itself through you.

Success with a small s is based on accumulation and materialism. Success with a large S is based on the unfoldment of our soul and the generosity of Spirit made manifest by the giving of our gifts.

The belief that a personal life exists apart from God creates experience disconnected from God. This is painful and frustrating. Our spiritual work is to break down the illusion that we have a life here and that a life of God is somewhere else.

The enlightened give thanks for what most people take for granted.

The enlightened give thanks for what most people take for granted.... As you begin to be grateful for what most people take for granted, the vibration of gratitude makes you more receptive to good in your life.

The pain pushes you, until the vision pulls you

The point is to create a system where individuals don't work simply for money or personal gain but to support the planet and its inhabitants in entering the next stage of evolutionary progression.

The truth is that there's more than enough good to go around. There is more than enough creative ideas. There is more than enough power. There is enough for everyone. If you believe it, if you can see it, if you act from it, it will show up for you. That's the truth.

The universe corresponds to the nature of your song.

There are laws of the universe and if you practice them they will respond to you.

There are so many levels of understanding and experience when it comes to this thing we call love. In our human relationships, it can be vastly complicated. Each of us has our own unique love-history, perceptions, and expectations.

There's an intelligence within the heart that is far bigger than our figuring out the mind.

There's an old saying that God made us in His image, and we've been trying to return the favor ever since. People often view God in a human image. This God changes His mind, gets upset, answers some prayers but not others, loves some people but not others. But even with that limited image, if we pray sincerely, we'll eventually realize that God is changeless. He's the same all the time because He's not in time-time is in Him.

There's enough for everyone. If you believe it, if you can see it, if you act from it, it'll show up for you. That's the truth.

There's nothing wrong with us. There's nothing missing in us. Everything is for us and there is nothing against us. Let us remember this together.

Thirty years of spiritual practice has given me the realization that emotions are based on our perceptions, whether or not they are based on reality.

This is our moment. This is our destiny. It's a good destiny

To me, authentic love is a sacred encounter we all yearn for.

Today give up false mental attachments and beliefs! Free yourself from the delusion that anything external can fulfill the hunger of your soul for God-Consciousness.

Today, refuse to see yourself as a recipient of negative vibrations or as a victim of subtle or gross influence around you. Practice broadcasting the high vibrations of your inner radiance remembering all the while that the place upon which you stand is holy simply because you are standing there.

Too many people are living in a prison that they have themselves manufactured.

Trust, practice, and then release yourself into the goodness of Existence and your life will prove that what you believe, you see.

We are here to change. We are here to grow, develop and unfold. We are progressive beings that have infinite capacity

We are on the planet to... wrap our consciousness around the divine treasure within us...

We are pushed by pain until we are pulled by vision.

We are unlimited beings. We have no ceiling.

We are unlimited beings. We have no ceiling. The capabilities and the talents and the gifts and the power that is within every single individual that is on this planet, is unlimited.

We live at the threshold of a universal recognition that the human being is not mere matter, but a potent, energetic field of consciousness. Modalities of the past millennium are quickly giving way to breakthrough technologies wherein we heal ourselves at the level of all true healing, which is spirit.

When emotions arise, I don't attempt to suppress or repress them, so that I can discern their basis or cause.

When it comes to love as a spiritual manifestation, it is an experience of utter surrender to that which is greater than any concept of love can define.

When one begins to really feel into the spiritual dimension of their beings, they bump into love. They bump into compassion. They bump into beauty.

When we have an inner initiation into pure love, we are in contact with our true nature.

When we have an inner initiation into pure love, we are in contact with our true nature. Judgment of ourselves and others disappears. Compassionate, discerning wisdom then enters the equation in all of our relationships.

When we radiate the warmth of our love-energy, our compassion-energy on the planet, we shine the qualities of our Source!

When you make genuine contact with your inner Spirit, there is an inner joy, an inner peace, that takes over.

When you make the U-turn to the Universal Presence and apply the Universal practices and principles, your life is changed.

When you see the world that God sees, you see a world that is loving, compassionate, and filled with individuals who live together in harmony and peace.

Who am I, and where am I going? You are the answer to this question. You are here to ask the question, and to be the answer.

You are a cosmic happening rooted in a local event, NOT the other way around.

You attract the predominant thoughts that you're holding in your awareness.

You can begin right now to feel healthy You can begin to feel prosperous. You can begin to feel the love that's surrounding you, even if it's not there. And what will happen is the universe will correspond to the nature of your song.

You can begin to shape your own destiny by the attitude that you keep.

You can change your life, and you can heal yourself.

You cannot bring anything new into your life until you are grateful for what you have now.

Your good is happening right now, even as you accept this statement of truth.

Your life began in the heart & mind of the Infinite. Mentally relive the days when as a child you ran free, when there were infinite possibilities of what you could feel, accomplish, and see in the world. Allow for the energy of your remembered freedom to thunder through you, and you will free your self from the false obstacles your adult.

Your technology is the inner practice of meditation, which will stimulate the link between your brain and ignite your innate desire to know your True Self. Trust yourself in a deeper way & reap the rewards!

You can start with nothing. And out of nothing, and out of no way, a way will be made.

Place your attention on what you wish to experience.

If you are not consciously directing your life, you will lose your footing and circumstances will decide for you.
