Don’t be dismayed by good-byes. A farewell is necessary before you can meet again. And meeting again, after moments or lifetimes, is certain for those who are friends.
There are no mistakes. The events we bring upon ourselves, no matter how unpleasant, are necessary in order to learn what we need to learn; whatever steps we take, they’re necessary to reach the places we’ve chosen to go.
Mistakes – call them unexpected learning experiences.
The only enlightened masters I know are the people that I see every day and the people that I’ve seen through my life who have had the understanding, at some level, that we’re here to express love.
Every person, all the events of your life are there because you have drawn them there. What you choose to do with them is up to you.
You are always free to change your mind and choose a different future, or a different past.
Every problem has a gift for you in its hands.
If we believe that we’re separated from someone, though they stand in the same room with us, we’re separated. If we believe that we’re together, if we believe that they are with us, if we listen through our inner senses, there’s a chance we’ll hear.
A tiny change today brings a dramatically different tomorrow.
I do not exist to impress the world. I exist to live my life in a way that will make me happy.
Sense of family is enormously important to me. In the larger sense, we’re all of us family; we’re all of us soulmates.
As long as we believe in sequential time, we see becoming instead of being. Beyond time, we are all one.
No matter how qualified or deserving we are, we will never reach a better life until we can imagine it for ourselves and allow ourselves to have it.
In order to live free and happily you must sacrifice boredom. It is not always an easy sacrifice.
Don’t believe what your eyes are telling you. All they show is limitation. Look with your understanding, find out what you already know, and you’ll see the way to fly.
Every gift from a friend is a wish for your happiness.
Fear not, nor be dismayed at the appearance that is darkness, at the disguise that is evil, at the empty cloak that is death, for you have picked these for your challenges. They are stones on which you choose to whet the keen edge of your spirit.
Wrong turns are as important as right turns. More important, sometimes.
Your only obligation in any lifetime is to be true to yourself.
I’m here not because I am supposed to be here, or because I’m trapped here, but because I’d rather be with you than anywhere else in the world.
