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

Treat every moment as a gift, that is why it is called the present.

You are not merely the physical body that you identify with out of habit. Your essential state is a field of infinite possibilities.

Judgment is guilt wearing a moral mask to disguise its pain.

Gratitude is a state of being in which we feel connected to everything in the universe. It is a fullness of the heart that recognizes the blessings of Nature within and without. Gratitude is love for the goodness of life itself.

No matter what advantages you are born with-- money, intelligence, an appealing personality, a sunny outlook, or good social connections-- none of these provides a magic key to an easy existence. Somehow life manages to bring difficult problems, the causes of untold suffering and struggle. How you meet your challenges makes all the difference between the promise of success and the specter of failure.

Love is a way of living, and not something that you give.
