If you're yelling within you that they shouldn't yell at you, that is where the pain begins, not with their yelling at you.

When people are talking about manifesting, we can say, "I want a car, I want a car, I want a car," but if the mind is running, "I don't deserve it, I'll never be able to afford it, I'll never be a success" - if all those things are running - then those things are what we're really manifesting. They are exactly what's running our life. And as long as we believe those thoughts, thinking positively is not strong enough to override our negative beliefs.

Joy is a natural way of being.

The world is nothing but my perception of it. I see only through myself. I hear only through the filter of my story.

Without an uninvestigated story, there's only the perfection of life appearing as itself. You can always go inside and find the beauty that's revealed after the pain and fear are understood.

If I'm okay with dying, my son is at least as enlightened as that. If I'm okay with my cancer, my son is at least as enlightened as I am.

The world isn't what I've believed it to be, and I am not what I believed me to be, and neither is anyone.
