I believe in the power of every human being to end suffering.

The only time we suffer is when we believe a thought that argues with what is. When the mind is perfectly clear, what is is what we want.

'I don't know' is my favorite position.

When a thought hurts, that’s the signal that it isn’t true.

Do you know anyone who hasn't changed his mind? This door was a tree, then it will be firewood for someone, then it will return to air and earth. We're all like that, constantly changing. It's simply honest to report that you've changed your mind when you have. When you're afraid of what people will think if you speak honestly, that's where you become confused.

It's not possible to have a problem without believing a prior thought. To notice this simple truth is the beginning of peace.

The Work reveals that what you think shouldn't have happened should have happened. It should happened because it did, and no thinking in the world can change it. This doesn't mean that you condone it or approve of it. It just means that you can see things without resistance and without the confusion of your inner struggle. No one wants their children to get sick, no one wants to be in a car accident; but when these things happen, how can it be helpful to mentally argue with them? We know better than to do that, yet we do it, because we don't know how to stop.
