It's not a little thing to lose your identification and who you believe yourself to be.

When we stop opposing reality, action becomes simple, fluid, kind, and fearless.

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.

If people are living their lives for security and comfort and pleasure, then mind's every waking moment will be plotting those things. That's how it stays identified - as a body, as a you.

I like to say understanding is the power.

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.

Without our stories, we are not only able to act clearly and fearlessly, we are also a friend, a listener. We are people living happy lives. We are appreciation and gratitude that have become as natural as breath itself. Happiness is the natural state for someone who knows that there's nothing to know and that we already have everything we need, right here now.
