Unless we base our sense of identity upon the truth of who we are, it is impossible to attain true happiness.

We create a mask to meet the masks of others. Then we wonder why we cannot love, and why we feel so alone.

When we are willing to accept our experience, just as it is, a strange thing happens: it changes into something else. When we avoid pain, struggle not to feel it, pain turns into suffering.

Who you are is always enough. If your partner wants something different, it does not reflect upon you, but upon their needs and fantasies.

The best defense against being hurt is to feel good about yourself and the way a person responds to you says more about them, than about you.

If one's sense of self is obtained through the eyes of another it is always subject to being lost.

All conflict we experience in the world, is a conflict within our own selves.
