Some children are afraid to die because their parents are afraid to die. My own children have come to understand that it's totally okay with me if they die. They don't have to live for my sake.

An uncomfortable feeling is not an enemy. It's a gift that says, "Get honest; inquire." We reach out for alcohol, or television, or credit cards, so we can focus out there and not have to look at the feeling. And that's as it should be, because in our innocence we haven't known how. So now what we can do is reach out for a paper and a pencil, write thought down, and investigate.

It's just a constant thing when the mind starts to wake up to itself.

When you believe that your problem is caused by someone or something else, you become your own victim.

We cannot see what we don't believe.

Our job is unconditional love. The job of everyone else in our life is to push our buttons.

Identify your painful thought, question it, and wake yourself up. No one else can.
