We have to embrace obstacles to reach the next stage of joy

What I’ve learned through my meditation is a sense of equanimity, a sense of all things being equal.

I'm a woman who was raised to believe that you are not complete unless you have a man. Well, in some ways it's true. I am a feminist to a point. But I'm not going to deny the fact that I love to be with men.

Why not just live in the moment, especially if it has a good beat?

All I ever wanted to be was happy.

Liberation is an interesting word, because you can be liberated from external things, and also from your internal dialogue.

The only thing that will make you happy is being happy with who you are, and not who people think you are.
