Your True Nature Is Love. There's Nothing You Can Do About It.
My happiness isn't dependent on anyone else's.
Thoughts are just what is. They appear. They're innocent. They're not personal.
The world will be at war as long as the mind is at war with itself. If we can't find peace within ourselves, where is the hope for peace in the world?
All sadness is a tantrum.
I realized that it's insane to oppose it. When I argue with reality, I lose-but only 100% of the time. How do I know that the wind should blow? It's blowing!
Mind changes, and as a result, the world changes. A clear mind heals everything that needs to be healed.
The worst loss you've ever experienced is the greatest gift you can have.
If you're yelling within you that they shouldn't yell at you, that is where the pain begins, not with their yelling at you.
Inquiry appears to be a process of thinking, but actually it's a way to undo thinking. Thoughts lose their power over us when we realize that they simply appear in the mind. They're not personal. Through The Work, instead of escaping or suppressing our thoughts, we learn to meet them with unconditional love and understanding.
When we work with our thinking, then to have great wealth is the same as to have nothing. That's the only freedom.
It's only our story that keeps us from knowing that we always have everything we need.
You are what exists before all stories.
Mind is everything. There's nothing that it's not.
