I know that at the core of each religion there is the truth, heavily obscured in some cases, but it's there.

Pain is the fuel that lights the flame of our enlightenment

If you find here & now intolerable, you have options: remove yourself from the situation, change it, or accept it totally.

...whenever there is inspiration...and enthusiasm...there is a creative empowerment that goes far beyond what a mere person is capable of.

Accept the present moment and find the perfection that is deeper than any form and untouched by time.

The more you live in the present moment, the more the fear of death disappears.

People believe that when they say "yes" to this moment, things won't change anymore. They're afraid that if they accept what is, whatever form this moment takes, they're going to be stuck forever in this moment that they don't like: this job or relationship or whatever situation they're in that they don't like. But this is not true.
