It helps if you remember that everyone is doing their best from their level of consciousness.

Every day in every way, I am increasing my mental and physical capacity. I am reversing my biological age.

This moment - the one you're experiencing right now - is the culmination of all the moments you have experienced in the past. This moment is as it is because the entire universe is as it is.

Through silence, through meditation, and through non-judgment, you will access the first law, the Law of Pure Potentiality.

The only way to atone for the past is to do something meaningful in the present.

You are the luminous mystery in which the entire universe with its forms and phenomena arises and subsides. When this realization dawns there is a complete transformation of your personal self into your universal self . . . the complete loss of all fear, including death. You have become a being who radiates love the same way the sun radiates light. You have finally arrived at the place from which your journey began.

To be a mentor you need to understand what's going on in a young person's life and you just want to have an internal dialogue that says, 'How can I help? Because I really care.'
