You cannot stand anywhere in the universe that is outside of yourself.

Joy is a return to the deep harmony of body, mind, and spirit that was yours at birth and that can be yours again. That openness to love, that capacity for wholeness with the world around you, is still within you.

When your actions are motivated by love, you expend least effort and your energy multiplies, allowing you to create anything you want, with a spirit of play and joy. When you seek power and control over others, you waste energy chasing the illusion of happiness.

Pay attention to that unchanging part of yourself. It is perfect. At the source of life, and only there, one finds peace, harmony, and the undisturbed contentment of bliss.

Compassion is the feeling of shared suffering. When you feel someone else's suffering, there is the birth of understanding.

When you struggle with your partner, you are struggling with yourself. Every fault you see in them touches a denied weakness in yourself.

Remember, whatever we put our attention on expands in our experience, so consider where you are focusing your time and energy.
