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.

Every time we choose safety, we reinforce fear.

People respond better to kindness than cruelty. Why, it's even caught on in the workplace, that bastion of self-hatred and disrespect.

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.

You have been taught that there is something wrong with you and that you are imperfect, but there isn't and you're not.

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

If you want to know what you were conditioned to believe as a child, look at how you treat yourself now.
