When we feel stuck, going nowhere-even starting to slip backward-we may actually be backing up to get a running start.

Responsibility is a grace you give yourself not an obligation

You get no more and no less than what you believe you deserve.

Refine your senses a little more each day; stretch them...your awareness will pierce deeply into your body and into the world.

My parents were only one part of my lineage. I also met a number of mentors, one of whom I nicknamed "Socrates" after the ancient Greek, and wrote about in my first book, Way of the Peaceful Warrior. That book emerged in 1980, as a result of travels around the world and decades of preparation, eventually leading to 15 other books written over the years, culminating in my newest offering, The Four Purposes of Life.

everyone tells you what's good for you. they don't want you to find your own answers. they want you to believe theirs.

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