A true leader is not the one with the most followers, but one who creates the most leaders.

A true king is not the one with the most subjects, but one who leads the most to royalty.

A true teacher is not the one with the most knowledge, but one who causes the most others to have knowledge.

A true God is not One with the most servants, but One who serves the most, thereby making Gods of all others.

For this is both the goal and the glory of God: that His subjects shall be no more, and that all shall know God not as the unattainable, but as the unavoidable."

~Neale Donald Walsch

Very similar to the Secret, but since some folks here are opposed to those principles, I won't go into it.

Anyhow, I highly recommend reading these if you get a chance. They've helped me for sure.

"Nothing occurs in your life ---nothing---which is not first a thought. Thoughts are like magnets, drawing effects to you."
-CWG, B1

"You are wont to rush to judgment, to call a thing "wrong" or "bad" or "not enough," rather than to bless what you do not choose."
-CWG, B1

"You do not have a clear focus; you are not really sure what is true for you. And the universe is just a big Xerox machine. It simply produces multiple copies of your thoughts. Now there is only one way to change all that. You have to change your thought about it."
-CWG, B1

"Stop trying to figure out what is "best" for you (how you can win the most, lose the least, get what you want) and start going with what feels like Who You Are."

"Nothing stays the same, nothing remains static. Which way a thing changes depends on you."
-CWG, B1

"I Am the still small voice within which knows which way to turn, which path to take, which answer to give, which action to implement, which word to say - which reality to create if you truly seek communion and unity with Me."

"There is nothing you can`t have if you choose it. Even before you ask, I will have given it to you."

-CWG, B1

"Do you imagine that a human soul encounters life challenges --whatever they may be-- by accident? Is this your imagining?"
-CWG, B1

goes unanswered."

Here are a few more quotes I jotted down just from the first 20 pages of CWG, Book 2:

* "So far that's how you've decided to live your Life. You keep changing your mind. Remember, life is an ongoing process of creation. You are creating your reality every minute. The decision you make today is often not the choice you make tomorrow. Yet here is a secret of all Masters: keep choosing the same thing. Over and over until your will is made manifest in your reality. For some that could take years. For some, months. For others, weeks. For those approaching mastery, days, hours, or even minutes. For Masters, creation is instantaneous."

* "Nothing is difficult for Me - but you might be making things very difficult for yourself (when you change your mind). Therefore, be of one mind and of single purpose about a thing. And don't take your mind off of it until you have produced it in reality. Keep focused. Stay centered. That is what is meant by being single-minded. If you choose something, choose it with all your might, with all your heart. Don't be faint-hearted. Keep going! Keep moving toward it. Be determined."

* "> Why does it take so much time for me to create the reality I choose?

For a number of reasons. Because you do not believe you can have what you choose. Because you do not know what to choose. Because you keep trying to figure out what's "best" for you. Because you want guarantees ahead of time that all your choices will be "good". And because you keep changing your mind! ... When you spend your time trying to figure out what's "best" for you, you are doing just that: spending your time. Better to save your time than to spend it wastefully. It is a great time-saver to be out of your mind. Decisions are reached quickly, choices are activated rapidly, because your soul creates out of present experience only, without review, analysis, and criticism of past encounters."

* "The soul understands what the mind cannot conceive...

> How do I listen to my soul? How do i know what i'm hearing?

The soul speaks to you in feelings. Listen to your feelings. Follow your feelings. Honor your feelings."

> Why does it seem that honoring my feelings is precisely what caused me to get into trouble in the first place?

Because you have labeled growth "trouble", and standing still "safe". I tell you this: Your feelings will never get you into "trouble", because your feelings are your truth."

* "When you act only out of what is true for you, you speed your way down the path. ... Once you come to know your truth, don't keep changing your mind about it! This is your mind trying to figure out what's "best". Stop it! Get out of your mind. Get back to your senses!"

* "When you express your truth with love, negative and damaging results hardly occur, and, when they do, it is usually because someone else has chosen to experience your truth in a negative or damaging way. In such a case, there is probably nothig you can do to avoid the outcome."

* "Certainly, failing to express your truth would hardly be appropriate. Yet people do this all the time. So afraid are they to cause or to face possible unpleasantness that they hide their truth altogether. Remember this: It is not nearly so important how well a message is received as how well it is sent. You cannot take responsibility for how well another accepts your truth; you can only ensure how well it is communicated. And by how well, I don't mean merely how clearly; I mean how lovingly, how compassionately, how sensitively, how courageously, and how completely. This leaves no room for half truths, the "brutal truth", or even the "plain truth". It does mean the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you God."

* "Some feelings are true feelings, - that is, feelings born in the soul - and some feelings are counterfeit feelings. These are constructed in your mind. In other words, they are not "feelings" at all - they are thoughts. Thoughts masquerading as feelings. These thoughts are based on your previous experience and on the observed experience of others."

* "The greatest challenge as human beings is to Be Here Now, to stop making things up! Stop creating thoughts about a pre-sent moment. Be in the moment."
