As long as you think that the cause of your problem is “out there” – as long as you think that anyone or anything is responsible for your suffering – the situation is hopeless. It means that you are forever in the role of victim, that you’re suffering in paradise.
A thought is harmless unless we believe it. It’s not our thoughts, but our attachment to our thoughts, that causes suffering. Attaching to a thought means believing that it’s true, without inquiring. A belief is a thought that we’ve been attaching to, often for years.
All I have is all I need and all I need is all I have in this moment.
I am a lover of what is, not because I’m a spiritual person, but because it hurts when I argue with reality.
Don’t believe every thing you think.
It’s not your job to like me – it’s mine.
Fear has only two causes: the thought of losing what you have or the thought of not getting what you want.
You can’t have an up without a down. You can’t have a left without a right. This is duality. If you have a problem, you must already have the solution. The question is, do you really want the solution, or do you want to perpetuate the problem?
Spare yourself from seeking love, approval, or appreciation-from anyone. And watch what happens in reality, just for fun.
My experience is that the teachers we need most are the people we’re living with right now.
It’s not what happens in life that bothers us. It’s what we’re believing about it that bothers us.
