At any moment the fully present mind can shatter time and burst into Now.

We are never more than one grateful thought away from peace of heart.

Wherever we may come alive, that is the area in which we are spiritual.

Faith is the courageous confidence that trusts in the Source of all gifts.

One can learn to focus on "opportunity" as the gift within every given moment. This attitude towards life always improves the situation. Even in times of sickness, someone who habitually practices grateful living will look for the opportunity that a given moment offers and use it creatively.

Any change in attitude changes the way one sees the world, and this in turn changes the way one acts.

Among the many things that profoundly impress me about the Dalai Lama, quite high up on the list is his ability to say "I don't know". I've often wished that other people in prominent positions wouldn't feel the compulsion to have an answer for everything and would feel equally free to say "I don't know." It's a sign of wisdom to know that you don't know and a sign of stupidity to think that you know everything. I admire it enormously in him, and wonder why so few people in leading positions reach that stage.
