moments appearance possibility
You cannot separate the onset of a disturbing moment in life from the appearance of some simultaneous new possibility to know a deeper and more unshakable sense of peace.
you-choose
Life can only be as new as you Choose to be.
character greatness two
The character of greatness must be measured in two ways, else the measurement is flawed. First, and by far most popular of all, is by one's ability to succeed in times of trial where others may fail. But of no less importance, and perhaps foundational to any form of greatness, is one's willingness to start over in spite of failure, when success seems farthest away.
simple practice important
One of the most important rules for me is: Don't ever defend myself. If we could put this one principle into practice, how much more simple life would be.
house suffering ifs
If I am identified with my relationship, with my house, or with my money, I am doomed to suffer.
unseen about-yourself conclusion
Any conclusion you reach about yourself has to be an unseen limitation because there's always more to see.
important facts needs
It's important for us to become aware of the fact that we are needful, for with that awareness also comes the sensing that we couldn't be needful if there weren't something to fulfill the need.
views heartache majority
The vast majority of our troubles and heartaches would simply vanish from view if only we could remember - before we act - that we are made victims mostly by our own tendencies.
spiritual important desire
In these times - where social appearance is more important than spiritual substance - what has become our longing to change is really the unconscious desire to control not just the shape of our bodies (according to prevailing values) but to dominate our environment as well, regardless of the cost.
understanding world
Every one of us lives in a world that is no larger and no smaller than our understanding.
spiritual needs realizing
If we're interested in spiritual things, we gradually realize that what we really need is to understand this nature that seems to be a bottomless basket, because there is no peace in it.
thinking way done
You must dare to do the thing you think cannot be done... as this is the only way to discover that there's nothing you can't do.
attitude reflection over-you
The right attitude toward any negative state begins with understanding that its only authority over you is a direct reflection of your attitude towards it.
silence mind way
The only way to cultivate a quiet mind is by planting seeds of silence.
