Do something you fear, NOT to conquer the fear, NOT to accomplish a task, but to familiarize yourself with the processes with which fear protects itself, to demystify it.

We have a choice. We can love our lives trying to conform to some nebulous standard, or we can live our lives seeing how everything works. When we step back and look at it that way, it is obvious that the attitude of fascination is the only intelligent one to bring to anything.

That which you seek, is causing you to seek.

It doesn't matter what did or did not happen then. It only matters what happens NOW.

When you're experiencing peace, it's coming from within you; you're 'doing' peace and this is true of anything else you might be looking for. Love, happiness, contentment, well-being come from within. Nothing external needs to change for you to have what you want.....If you want to be happier - be happier. If you want to be more relaxed - relax. If you want more friends - be friendly. Sounds simple. It is.

It takes a tremen­dous act of courage to admit to your­self that you are not defec­tive in any way what­so­ever.

When you stop comparing what is right here and now with what you wish were, you can begin to enjoy what is.
