Sometimes letting things go is an act of far greater power than defending or hanging on.
To love is to recognize yourself in another.
Whatever the present moment contains, accept it as if you had chosen it.
Worry pretends to be necessary but serves no useful purpose.
Pleasure is always derived from something outside you, whereas joy arises from within.
This, too, will pass.
If you get the inside right, the outside will fall into place. Primary reality is within; secondary reality without.
Don’t let a mad world tell you that success is anything other than a successful present moment.

Awareness is the greatest agent for change.
It is not uncommon for people to spend their whole life waiting to start living.
As soon as you honor the present moment, all unhappiness and struggle dissolve, and life begins to flow with joy and ease. When you act out the present-moment awareness, whatever you do becomes imbued with a sense of quality, care, and love – even the most simple action.
If not now, when?
One thing we do know: Life will give you whatever experience is most helpful for the evolution of your consciousness. How do you know this is the experience you need? Because this is the experience you are having at this moment.
Nonresistance is the key to the greatest power in the universe.
Watch any plant or animal and let it teach you acceptance of what is, surrender to the Now. Let it teach you Being. Let it teach you integrity – which means to be one, to be yourself, to be real. Let it teach you how to live and how to die, and how not to make living and dying into a problem.
You are here to enable the divine purpose of the Universe to unfold. That is how important you are!
