Each time we see and are touched by the expression of some eternal principle, we catch a sweet glimpse of some aspect of our True Self.
One of the most important rules for me is: Don’t ever defend myself. If we could put this one principle into practice, how much more simple life would be.
Getting stressed and struggling to change the outcome of any past event is like arguing with an echo to make it see your point of view.
There is nothing as certain as silence, stillness, and solitude to introduce you to the secrets of yourself.
Letting go, at its heart, is an act of agreement with Life.
We become what we love. What we put first in our lives is what we receive from life.
Trying to change ourselves in order to please others – so that we can feel temporarily whole for having won their approval – is like cutting a flower into pieces so that it will fit into a vase.
The heart at peace is its own reward, needing nothing outside of itself to be fully content.
Only you can choose the nature of what grows, or what doesn’t, within you.
Each moment of life is only as precious as is our ability to attend to it.
Rushing around, hoping to find peace of mind anywhere other than within yourself, is like looking for your heart in someone else’s body!
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.
The nature of what the Divine notices about you is completely different from the nature of what you do to get noticed.
Nothing glows brighter than the heart awakened to the unseen light of love that lives within it.
Knowledge without Spirit is like finding yourself on a cold night with all the wood in the world and no flame to ignite it.
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.
The real quality of our life is not determined by what we have won from it, but by what we have discovered within it.
Make it your moment-to-moment aim to recognize the difference between being aware of your thoughts, and being carried along by them.
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.
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.
