Christmas is doing a little something extra for someone.
Your sacred space is where you can find yourself over and over again.
You must love in such a way that the person you love feels free.
Love is like a precious plant. You can’t just accept it and leave it in the cupboard or just think it’s going to get on by itself. You’ve got to keep on watering it. You’ve got to really look after it and nurture it.
If you don’t love yourself, how in the hell you gonna love somebody else?
The most I can do for my friend is simply to be his friend.
Being humble means recognizing that we are not on earth to see how important we can become, but to see how much difference we can make in the lives of others.
If you get the inside right, the outside will fall into place. Primary reality is within; secondary reality without.
Compassion is a verb.
It’s up to you today to start making healthy choices. Not choices that are just healthy for your body, but healthy for your mind.
Love begins by taking care of the closest ones – the ones at home.
Finally I am coming to the conclusion that my highest ambition is to be what I already am. That I will never fulfill my obligation to surpass myself unless I first accept myself, and if I accept myself fully in the right way, I will already have surpassed myself.
In the end only kindness matters.
Slow down and enjoy life. It’s not only the scenery you miss by going too fast – you also miss the sense of where you are going and why.
I want to love you without clutching, appreciate you without judging, join you without invading, invite you without demanding, leave you without guilt, criticize you without blaming, and help you without insulting. If I can have the same from you, then we can truly meet and enrich each other.
I must be willing to give whatever it takes to do good to others. This requires that I be willing to give until it hurts. Otherwise, there is no true love in me, and I bring injustice, not peace, to those around me.
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.
There are many people who can do big things, but there are very few people who will do the small things.
Let us not be satisfied with just giving money. Money is not enough, money can be got, but they need your hearts to love them. So, spread your love everywhere you go.
The purpose of life is to contribute in some way to making things better.
