I used to sleep on the floor next to the bed, because I believed that I didn't even deserve a bed to sleep in. And then, one morning, a cockroach crawled onto my leg. I looked at it, and suddenly I awoke from a kind of hypnotic trance in which I had been all my life.

If you realized how beautiful you are, you would fall at your own feet.

You can’t change what you haven’t realized yet. Once you realize what you were asleep to, the change happens on its own.

My experience is that the teachers we need most are the people we're living with right now.
