Realizing that people should lie when they do makes me a little more open-minded, a little more tolerant, when my child or my partner lies.

It's not your job to like me - it's mine

The power of one! If I can't stop war in my life, how can I expect politicians to stop war in the world? I can't. And we all have equal wisdom, so if I can do it then I know that anyone can do it if their mind is open to answering just four simple questions and beginning there.

I could go on and on about how the statements and concepts that used to depress me now bring me joy, but that is not easily understood for people who think the way I used to think and believe what I used to believe.

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

I'll tell you that for me, one when someone used to say something that was true, one way I knew it was true was that I immediately felt defensive. I blocked it off, and I went to war with them in my mind and suffered all that goes with it. And they were only saying what was true.

Any thought of discomfort or stress is an alarm that lets you know you're believing an untrue thought
