I once read that forgiveness is giving up all hope of having had a different past...but forgiving is not the same as obliterating memory.
The way we do anything is the way we do everything.
I want you to be supervised, all day every day, by people who forgive your errors and believe in your destiny.
Don't fight fearful thoughts. Just match each one with an alternative thought that brings you more peace.
During the times we think we’re being “unproductive,” the seeds of new worlds are germinating within us, and they need peace to grow.
Everything always passes, and everything is already okay. Stay in the place where you can see that, and nothing will resist you.
The important thing is to tell yourself a life story in which you, the hero, are primarily a problem solver rather than a helpless victim. This is well within your power, whatever fate might have dealt you.
External circumstances do not create feeling states. Feeling states create external circumstances.
In the moments I get it right, every step I take seems to be matched by a universal mystery, which obligingly, incredibly, creates what I can't.
If you’re doing something you love with people you love in a place you love, you are going to create something of value to the world.
Where your attention goes, your life goes.
By the end of your incredibly arduous, disappointing, stressful journey, you will be your true self, in a place where you belong, with friends who truly understand you and bring all sorts of opportunities your way.
Stop fixating on stuff you can touch and start caring about stuff that touches you.
The idea is to identify a destructive thought pattern, then simply label it and watch it and let it pass by whenever it appears in your mind.
