The only thing that is ultimately real about your journey is the step that you are taking at this moment. That's all there ever is.

Stress is a form of suffering, but it is accepted as normal. And it is normal in our world.

Many people don't realise until they are on their deathbed and everything external falls away that no thing ever had anything to do with who they are.

Give up defining yourself - to yourself or to others. You won't die. You will come to life. And don't be concerned with how others define you. When they define you, they are limiting themselves, so it's their problem. Whenever you interact with people, don't be there primarily as a function or a role, but as the field of conscious Presence. You can only lose something that you have, but you cannot lose something that you are.

Waiting is a state of mind. Basically, it means that you want the future; you don't want the present. You don't want what you've got, and you want what you haven't got. With every kind of waiting, you unconsciously create inner conflict between your here and now, where you don't want to be, and the projected future, where you want to be. This greatly reduces the quality of your life by making you lose the present.

The way I feel is that there is a balance in my life between being alone and interacting with people, between Being and doing.

Whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.
