It takes a tremen­dous act of courage to admit to your­self that you are not defec­tive in any way what­so­ever.

We have a choice. We can love our lives trying to conform to some nebulous standard, or we can live our lives seeing how everything works. When we step back and look at it that way, it is obvious that the attitude of fascination is the only intelligent one to bring to anything.

Self-judgment is how conditioned mind keeps control over your life.

It is not my experience that we are here to fix the world, that we are here to change anything at all. I think we are here so the world can change us. And if part of that change is that the suffering of the world moves us compassion, to awareness, to sympathy, to love, that is a very good thing.

Your definition of who you are is your prison. You can set yourself free at any time.

Every time we choose safety, we reinforce fear.

If you had a person in your life treating you the way you treat yourself, you would have gotten rid of them a long time ago.
