You are the effect of your story, that's all.
Everything that happens is God's will. When you realize that, you're home free.
Placing the blame or judgment on someone else leaves you powerless to change your experience; taking responsibility for your beliefs and judgments gives you the power to change them
We say to others only what we need to hear
Life is simple. Everything happens for you, not to you.
When we love what is, it becomes so simple to live in the world. The world is exactly as it should be.
When you srgue with reality, you lose, but only 100% of the time.
Life just happens. It’s what you’re believing about life that makes you suffer.
That's the purpose of stress. It's a friend. It's an alarm clock, built in to let you know that it's time to do The Work.
When you think that someone or something other than yourself needs to change, you're mentally out of your business.
In the fall, you don't grieve because the leaves are falling and dying. You say, "Isn't it beautiful!" Well, we're the same way. There are seasons. We all fall sooner or later. It's all so beautiful. And our concepts, without investigation, keep us from knowing this. It's beautiful to be a leaf, to be born, to fall, to give way to the next, to become food for the roots. It's life, always changing its form and always giving itself completely. We all do our part. No mistake.
When safety is our priority, we live our lives being very, very careful, and we wind up having no lives
I'm most inspired whenever I hear of even the smallest act of human kindness.
Since the past is unreal and the future is unreal, all your thoughts are about nothing.
