Use pain as a stepping stone, not a camp ground.
Eternity does not start after you die; it begins when you really live.
You empower what you fight.You withdraw power from what you release.
If you have to have it, it's ego. If you have to not have it, it's ego. Hold life lightly and it will deliver what you need and release what you don't.
Evaluate every act by whether it brings you greater life, or deadens you.
Your brilliance comes from your spirit. To deny it is arrogance. To accept it is humility.
