It's good that it hurts. Pain is the signal that you're confused, that you're in a lie.

You can never make yourself believe that you're loveable, however hard you try, because when the chips are down what you really believe rises to the surface of the mind to replace what you want to believe.

When you think that someone or something other than yourself needs to change, you're mentally out of your business.

There's no one who can teach you except yourself. Each of us needs to look at what our belief system really consists of. Look at the concepts that come across your mind and just notice what you believe.

You don't get to vote on what is. Have you noticed?

It's very benign, it seems, to think, "There's a tree." In fact, it's a very beautiful thought. If someone chops down all the trees, then we think, "Oh, my goodness, something is out of order in my world." We begin to think, "Who am I in a world without trees?"

The world is what you believe it to be, and it changes as you change.
