To exclude anything that appears in your universe is not love. Love joins with everything. It doesn't exclude the monster. It doesn't avoid the nightmare - it looks forward to it.

When you realize that every stressful moment you experience is a gift that points you to your own freedom, life becomes very kind.

If your happiness depends on your children being happy, that makes them your hostages. So stay out of their business, stop using them for your happiness, and be your own happiness. And that way you are the teacher for your children: someone who knows how to live a happy life.

There is no mistake in nature.

Reality is always the story of a past, and what I love about the past is—it's over.

You're never given more pain than you can handle. You never, ever get more than you can take.

Look at your life without the thought "Something terrible is going to happen."
