Enlightenment does not ask you to be perfect; it simply asks you to find perfection right where you stand.

Do not wait until the conditions are perfect to begin. Beginning makes the conditions perfect.

Great masters merit emulation, not worship.

Turmoil is a call for awakening. Every challenge, great or small, is moving you to look deeper and draw forth the highest in you. You're never given a challenge beyond your ability to meet and master. You'll rise above every circumstance because you're greater than any circumstance.

You give your power away when you make someone or something outside of you more important than what is inside of you.

Inner peace: Don't leave home without it.

When faced with demanding situations, can you keep your heart as light as a feather? Can you laugh your way through challenges and maintain an attitude freer than fear? When confronted with upsets and the poisonous projections of others, can you remember that all is well? Do you know that you are a spiritual being, not subject to the whims and caprices of earthly tides?
