When you run in fear, it's square into the wall.
I have had the privilege of losing everything.
I stopped waiting for the world to give me what I wanted; I started giving it to myself.
Nothing belongs to me. Everything comes and goes. Serenity is an open door.
Your understanding of another person is limited by what you think you already know. So when you just listen, the person you meet won't match your preconception. The exciting thing is that you usually meet someone much wiser and kinder than you expected. You might also lose track of your ideas about who you are.
How do you react when you think you need people's love? Do you become a slave for their approval?
So what is it with your mother that you haven't worked out yet?
Every moment a gift: are you unwrapping yours now, and now, and now?
When I believed my thoughts I suffered.
A thought is harmless unless we believe it.
There is no security for those who seek it outside of themselves.
'I don't know' is my favorite position.
How do I know it was meant to happen this way? Because it did.
Any stressful thought that you have about the planet, for example, shows you where you are stuck, where your energy is being exhausted in not fully meeting life as it is, without condition.
