All is well, all is well. Though everything is a mess, all is well.

Don't ask the world to change....you change first.

You know, all mystics - Catholic, Christian, non-Christian, no matter what their theology, no matter what their religion - are unanimous on one thing: that all is well, all is well. Though everything is a mess, all is well. Strange paradox, to be sure. But, tragically, most people never get to see that all is well because they are asleep. They are having a nightmare.

Live your life as you see fit. That's not selfish. Selfish is to demand that others live their lives as you see fit.

No person on earth has the power to make you unhappy. There is no event on earth that has the power to disturb you or hurt you. No event, condition, situation, or person. Nobody told you this; they told you the opposite. That's why you're in the mess you're in right now. That is why you're asleep. They never told you this. But it's self-evident.

Problems exist only in the human mind.

Ordinarily, everything we do is in our self-interest. Everything.
