We are what we think about. When we stay fixed on one person, thought or situation, we get caught in the grip of self-centered thoughts. The more we give attention to that which is upsetting, the more strength it has to rule our lives.

All the insight we will ever need to live well will come from fully being who and where we are.

we learn the process of emptying out, cleaning house, both within and without.

The sense that my world is stable and stationary, that change will never come and that all will go on continuously as it is, is the nature of all delusion.

All experiences are welcomed and fully digested, not judged good or bad.

When we do not reject our suffering, or add anything to it, pain is simply pain. It is what we add to our pain that turns it into suffering.

Change is the very basis of our life, not to be fought, to be welcomed and tasted, to be seen for the gift it truly is.
