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.

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 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.

What seems good turns bad, what seems bad turns good. It is an endless cycle.

Another simple and powerful way to dissolve problems is not to dwell upon the outcome of your actions. Instead, learn to value each action (no matter how small or large), to do it with complete attention. Your joy and satisfaction comes from doing each action with a whole heart and mind. Results and consequences then take care of themselves. When you are not absorbed by concern for outcomes, how much anxiety can you ever have?

God's guiding hand, the guiding Voice, resting lightly upon us is best felt and heard when we are silent and still.

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.
