The mind is so tricky. It will say, "No one cares. Is it true? Well, someone does. Let's see: So-and-so doesn't care. Well, maybe they do. Well, there is someone who doesn't care." It just shifts and shifts and shifts, so it can keep all of its concepts intact.

It is not your business to love me. It is mine.

You would be amazed at who people are once you know yourself.

Suffering over things that have happened to us is nothing more than an argument with the past.

Pay close attention to the particular thoughts you use to deprive yourself of happiness.

A thought is harmless unless we believe it. It’s not our thoughts, but our attachment to our thoughts, that causes suffering. Attaching to a thought means believing that it’s true, without inquiring. A belief is a thought that we’ve been attaching to, often for years.

Any story that you tell about yourself causes suffering. There is no authentic story.
