Defense is the first act of war.
We never make a decision. When the time is right, the decision makes itself.
We fear only what we haven’t understood.
I saw that we're all doing the best we can. This is how a lifetime of humility begins.
You either believe what you think or you question it. There’s no other choice.
Until we know that death is equal to life, we live in fear.
The mind usually says, “I know, I know, I know.” But the “don’t-know mind” is where wisdom lives.
Personalities don't love. They want something.
Reality is always kinder than your thinking.
The mind's job is to validate what it thinks.
The world is perfect. As you question your mind, this becomes more and more obvious. Mind changes, and as a result, the world changes. A clear mind heals everything that needs to be healed. It can never be fooled into believing that there is one speck out of order.
Self-realization is not complete until it lives in action.
The only time we suffer is when we believe a thought that argues with what is. When the mind is perfectly clear, what is is what we want.
I have never experienced a stressful feeling that wasn't caused by attaching to an untrue thought. Behind every uncomfortable feeling, there's a thought that isn't true for us.
