Instead of making up stories, stay with the facts. For example, "I am ruined" is a story. It limits you and prevents you from taking effective action. "I have 50 cents left in my bank account" is a fact.

Fulfill me, make me happy, make me feel safe, tell me who I am. The world cannot give you those things, and when you no longer have such expectations, all self created suffering comes to an end.

So far for humans it has been the case that ego develops and then humans are stuck with it for the rest of their lives.

Acceptance means: For now, this is what this situation, this moment, requires me to do, and so I do it willingly.

When you live in complete acceptance of what is, that is the end of all drama in your life.

It seems that most people need to experience a great deal of suffering before they will relinquish resistance and accept - before they will forgive.

The moment you become aware of the silence, you also have become silent.
