Life comes at us in waves. We can't predict or control those waves, but we can learn to surf

A flash of enlightenment offers a preview of coming attractions, but when it fades, you will see more clearly what separates you from that state - your compulsive habits, outmoded beliefs, false associations, and other mental structures. Just when our lives are starting to get better, we may feel like things are getting worse - because for the first time we see clearly what needs to be done.

The journey is what brings us happiness not the destination.

If we lose touch with our heart's wisdom, then no method avails; if we love, then nothing else is necessary.

Act happy, feel happy, be happy, without a reason in the world. Then you can love, and do what you will.

In life, stress happens when you resist what arises.

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