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.

Everyone everywhere live[s] a confused, bitter search. Reality never matched their dreams; happiness was just around the corner - a corner they never turned. And the source of it all [is] the human mind.

Embrace the higher truth that everything comes to pass exactly as it should. Find peace and wisdom by accepting what is.

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

If you want a kinder world, then behave with kindness; if you want a peaceful world, make peace within.

In life, stress happens when you resist what arises.

If you don't get what you want, you suffer; if you get what you don't want, you suffer; even when you get exactly what you want, you still suffer because you can't hold on to it forever.
