You need to learn to be with the suffering that inevitably arises in your life.

Always say 'yes' to the present moment... Surrender to what is. Say 'yes' to life - and see how life starts suddenly to start working for you rather than against you.

The thinking mind is a useful and powerful tool, but it is also very limiting when it takes over your life completely, when you don't realize that it is only a small aspect of the consciousness that you are.

Joy is uncaused and arises from within as the joy of Being. It is an essential part of the inner state of peace, the state that has been called the peace of God. It is your natural state, not something that you need to work hard for or struggle to attain.

Whenever you deeply accept this moment as it is - no matter what form it takes - you are still, you are at peace.

Pain is the fuel that lights the flame of our enlightenment

Become friendly with the present moment, because if you do not become friendly with the present moment you cannot become friendly with life.
