Only when you've truly had enough suffering in your life, are you able to say ' I don't need it anymore'.

So one could say that the only real problem is dysfunctional thinking, the rest are challenges, not problems.

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.

When you take your attention into the present moment, a certain alertness arises. You become more conscious of what's around you, but also, strangely, a sense of presence that is both within and without.

Things and conditions can give you pleasure but they cannot give you joy- joy arises from within.

The past has no power over the present moment.

If peace is really what you want, then you will choose peace. If peace mattered to you more than anything else and if you truly knew yourself to be Spirit rather than a little me, you would remain nonreactive and absolutely alert when confronted with challenging people or situations. You would immediately accept the situation and thus become one with it rather than separate yourself from it.
