I've always enjoyed being in the background, sitting in a cafe, watching people. But now, when I sit in a cafe, sometimes people watch me. It's a challenge. But it's usually people who want to say 'your book transformed my life', or something... so then I'm joyful. One moment before, I didn't want them to recognise me, but when they do, I'm glad.

Sustained enthusiasm brings into existence a wave of creative energy, and all you have to do is 'ride the wave'.

Acceptance of the unacceptable is the greatest source of grace in this world.

The moment you put a mental label on another human being, you can no longer truly relate to that person. . . It then becomes possible to perpetrate any act of violence.

My mind cannot know you, only labels, judgments, facts, and opinions about you. Being alone knows directly.

Accept the present moment without judgement.

By learning to accept the small things immediately as they happen, you can be free of having to react to things at all. You still can respond when action is needed, but you can be free, internally, of events.
