Nobody knows but you what it is that’s sacred to you as far as what you want to manifest in your life. You need to do it by your own chosen standards. Your life does not need to look like anybody else’s life. It’s a commitment that you’re making to a magnificent life measured by your own chosen standards.

As we free our breath through diaphragmatic breathing, we relax our emotions and let go our body tensions.

There's no such thing as a minor lapse of awareness. You're either present with what is--right here, right now--or you're someplace else.

It is not love that is to blame. But each of us has resistance to the very love we desire. We also have resistance to the space and independence we need. So we go back and forth, not letting ourselves have one or the other. It all boils down to this: Are you willing to have your relationships be a pathway to fully revealing yourself and your potential? If you answer is Yes, real intimacy can be yours on a daily basis.

The goal in life is not to attain some imaginary ideal; it is to find and fully use our own gifts.

Are you willing to increase the amount of time every day that you feel good inside?

Our species in general had grown accustomed to pain and adversity through millennia of struggle . . . we were only recently evolving the ability to let ourselves feel good and have things go well for any significant period of time.
