When in haste, rest in the present. Take a deep breath and come back to here and now.

To rid yourself of old patterns, focus all your energy not on struggling with the old, but on building the new.

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

Our sense of self-worth is the single most important determinant of the health, abundance, and joy we allow into our lives.
