Ask yourself what problem you have right now. Not next year, tomorrow or five minutes from now. You can always cope with the now, but you can never cope with the future. Nor do you have to. The answer, the strength and the right action will be there when you need it. Not before or after.

For many people, illness - loss of health - represents the crisis situation that triggers an awakening. With serious illness comes awareness of your own mortality, the greatest loss of all.

True change happens within not without

When you can no longer feel the life that you are, you are likely to try to fill up your life with things.

Anything that you resent and strongly react to in another is also in you.

Emotion in itself is not unhappiness. Only emotion plus an unhappy story is unhappiness

The purpose of the world is for youto be lost in it, ultimately. The purpose of the world is for you to suffer, to create the suffering that seems to be what is needed for the awakening to happen.
