Instead of always asking yourself how to clear up your mental fog, learn to ask: "Can confusion know anything about clarity?"
sadness past shadow
The past is as powerless to darken the present moment as is a shadow to reach up and drag down the form that casts it.
inspirational past reality
Your past is just that, the past, a place within your psyche with no more reality to it then the picture of a castle on a postcard is made from stone.
inspirational finding-yourself today
You have a destination far beyond where you find yourself standing today.
inspirational dwelling want
Discouragement tricks you into mentally or emotionally dwelling in the very place you want to leave.

The secret self knows the anguish of our attachments and assures us that letting go of what we think we must have to be happy is the same as letting go of our unhappiness.

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 change isn't found in some new way to think about yourself, but in freedom from the need to think about yourself at all.

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.
