An unattended mind is the breeding ground of self-defeat.

Instead of always asking yourself why so-and-so acts this or that way, learn to ask: "What's inside of me that wants to hurt itself over how anyone else acts?"

If you don't leap, you'll never know what it's like to fly.

Discouragement tricks you into mentally or emotionally dwelling in the very place you want to leave.

Once you know what it means to choose in favor of yourself, there is no power in the universe that can make you choose against yourself.

The great ones in life are not those who are handed silver spoons. Their excellence comes from digging into the raw ore of their own character, through hard work, persistence and faith turning whatever they touch into gold.

We need to see, and agree that what we seek already lives within us, and we within it. Now we know our one great task: watch for whatever promises us freedom, and then quietly, consciously refuse to see ourselves through the eyes of what we know is incomplete. Then we live wholeness itself, instead of spending our lives looking for it.
