Our greatest strength isn't our ability to imagine brighter days ahead, it is that we are empowered-in every present moment-to effortlessly dismiss any dark thought or feeling that, left unattended, diminishes our happiness.

Love is effortless attention.

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.

Every relationship that we have in our lives - our contact with each person, place, and event - serves a very special, if yet to be realized purpose: They are mirrors that can serve to show us things about ourselves that can be realized in no other way.

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

If I am identified with my relationship, with my house, or with my money, I am doomed to suffer.

It's a paradox of the true spiritual path, but the more conscious we become of what limits us, the more limitless becomes our life.
