When you become fully responisble for your life, you can become fully human; once you become human, you may discover what it mens to be a warrior.

In the real world, those of us who are most productive, successful, and satisfied focus not on fixing feelings or manipulating thoughts, but on what needs to be done-and then doing it-no matter what thoughts or feelings arise.

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

If there is a central theme to what I called "a peaceful warrior's approach to living," and to The Four Purposes of Life, it is that there may be innumerable techniques or methods one can learn (from the Eastern spiritual cultures and from the Western psychological tradition), but that above and beyond all these technologies waits the school of everyday life.

Simplicity has power. Founding our life on constructive, positive behavior is the simplest, most direct, and powerful approach I've ever found-simple, but not easy.

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

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