who-we-are may traps
In spite of how things may appear to us, we are never trapped by where we are. The trap is always who we are
different divine
The nature of what the Divine notices about you is completely different from the nature of what you do to get noticed.
pain stress emotional
Looking to any angry, anxious, or otherwise stressed emotional state to help you sort out the pain you're in is like trying to organize your monthly bills by throwing them into a blender
wisdom life-is moments
Each moment of life is only as precious as is our ability to attend to it.
giving way moments
To know that every moment — regardless of how it comes wrapped — is a gift greater than you can give yourself, is to be well on your way to a life without fear.
spiritual wisdom limits
It's a paradox of the true spiritual path, but the more conscious we become of what limits us, the more limitless becomes our life.
real needs firsts
No one rises above who he or she has been without first having fallen down. The best time - in fact, the only time - to make a real change in your life is in the moment of seeing the need for it. He who hesitates always gets lost in the hundred reasons why tomorrow is a better day to get started.
wisdom understanding limits
The limit of your present understanding is not the limit of your possibilities.
real wonder subjects
Real freedom isn't subject to how others estimate our value; it is in realizing that none are free who find their sense of worth wondering how others measure their lives.
real quality determined
The real quality of our life is not determined by what we have won from it, but by what we have discovered within it.
stress crowds want
Instead of always asking how to get others to approve of you... learn to ask: What do I really want, the applause of the crowds or to quietly have my own life?
mistake self-conscious humans
The only mistake that we can make as human beings is to be asleep, unaware of ourselves.
summer spring fall
Once something has outlived its usefulness in one area of life, its purpose for being in existence is no longer the same. The leaf that captures a stream of sunlight, and then transfers its energy to the tree, serves one purpose in the spring and summer, and another completely different one through the fall and winter.
loss reality ideas
The only world in which "defeat" exists as a reality is the one darkened by the false idea that what may have happened to us a moment ago is the same as what's possible for us to achieve now.
