mirrors special purpose
Every relationship that we have in our lives - our contact with each person, place, and event - serves a very special, if yet to be realized purpose: They are mirrors that can serve to show us things about ourselves that can be realized in no other way.
real thinking way
Real change isn't found in some new way to think about yourself, but in freedom from the need to think about yourself at all.
running sadness anxious-thoughts
Much like the hands of a clock go nowhere fast, anxious thoughts run us round-and-round without taking us anywhere!
sadness worry next
The only thing worried thoughts have the power to change is what the next thing will be for you to worry over!
sadness wish stories
The only one interested in hearing your sad story is . . . you; and even you wish you didn't have to relive it again!
meaningful hurt asking-yourself-why
Instead of always asking yourself why so-and-so acts this or that way, learn to ask: "What's inside of me that wants to hurt itself over how anyone else acts?"
impossible conscious sabotage
No truly conscious human being sabotages himself - it's impossible, because it's contrary to Nature.
love love-is attention
Love is effortless attention.
motivation gymnastics leap
If you don't leap, you'll never know what it's like to fly.
disappointment expectations despair
Disappointment, discouragement, and despair are nothing but the bitter fruit of an unfulfilled expectation allowed to live beyond its time.
real thinking differences
If any of those times you rushed around madly - trying to get somewhere faster - had ever made any real difference in the quality of your life... don't you think you'd be able to slow down by now?
self-esteem long feelings
What good is any feeling we may have about ourselves, if it only lasts as long as others agree to it?
principles spirituality found
As the lesser is always found within the greater, so this principle holds true with regards to time and the eternal.
secret path moments
Each moment of every one of my relationships serves as the secret path to the summit of myself.
