If you want a kinder world, then behave with kindness; if you want a peaceful world, make peace within.

Consciousness is not in the body; the body is in consciousness. And you are that consciousness.

Sometimes sorrow, sometimes joy. But beneath it all remember the innate perfection of your life unfolding. That is the secret of unreasonable happiness.

So be gentle with yourself; show yourself the same kindness and patience you might show a young child - the child you once were. If you won’t be your own friend, who will be? If, when playing an opponent, you are also opposing yourself, you will be outnumbered.

Looking back we see with great clarity, and what once appeared as difficulties now reveal themselves as blessings.

Autumn leaves shower like gold, like rainbows, as the winds of change begin to blow, signaling the later days of autumn.

A little bit of something beats a lot of nothing. Break the largest of difficult tasks into the smallest of steps and it can be done.
