passion way problem
A desperation to escape a problem is the wrong way. A passion to understand it is the right way
reality self way
There is no way reality can be prevented from flowing the way it flows. It is our vain attempts to force it to flow in the service of our imaginary needs which sets us in painful conflict with our- selves and nature. You are not separate from the flowing reality; you are that flowing reality. See this and you will not see any- thing else which conflicts with it. You will be what you see.
success fighting way
Instead of fighting your problems, picture your way out of them.
challenges feelings way
An obvious fact about negative feelings is often overlooked. They are caused by us, not by exterior happenings. An outside event presents the challenge, but we react to it. So we must attend to the way we take things, not to the things themselves.
important way
The only way to do something truly important every day is to seek to understand yourself every day.

Stucy carefully the law of cause and effect.
happiness liberty unhappy
Happiness is liberty from everything that makes us unhappy.
fear never-fear
You must never fear anything at all.
inspirational law people
It is against the law to permit weak people to steal your strength. Never permit it.
change loss
Change is never a loss - it is change only.
fall men relaxation
A cheery relaxation is man's natural state, just as nature itself is relaxed. A waterfall is concerned only with being itself, not with doing something it considers waterfall-like.
spiritual teacher fall
The Truth must be told at all costs, no matter how unpopular it may be. The authentic spiritual leader, having freed himself of his own false need to be popular, tells the Truth whether it falls on fertile or stony ground. Such a teacher is the salt of the earth, though few know it. If you think the world is delirious as is, you would find it intolerable without his healing influence.
time needs can-do
You need only choose ... then keep choosing as many times as necessary. That is all you need do. And it is certainly something you can do. Then as you continue to choose, everything is yours.
law causes study
Study carefully the law of cause and effect.
