Life is a series of moments. The quality of attention and action that we bring to each moment determines the quality of our lives.

A warrior takes responsibility for his acts, for the most trivial of acts. An average man acts out his thoughts, and never takes responsibility for what he does.When we feel stuck, going nowhere -- even starting to slipbackward -- we may actually be backing up to get a runningstart.

No need to feel brave or confident; just behave that way.

The birth of the mind is the death of the senses

When we align our lives with spiritual laws, challenges remain, but we can approach them with arms open wide, ready to dance.

Peaceful warriors have the patience to wait until the mud settles and the water clears. They remain unmoving until the right time, so the right action arises by itself. They do not seek fulfillment, but wait with open arms to welcome all things.

The time is now, the place is here. Stay in the present. You can do nothing to change the past, and the future will never come exactly as you plan or hope for.
