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.

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

Self-pity is the campsite of self-defeat; it is a dark refuge for those parts of us that would rather wallow in what cannot be than dare to explore what is possible.

Within the human being there exists both the needful and the needed. You know that the needful exists in you. Your own dissatisfaction tells you so. But you believe the needed is somewhere outside of you.

It's time to break our ties with anything in us that would rather complain about its situation than go to work to change it.

Never run from what you don't understand, as it will be waiting for you every time you come to a stop.

Love is effortless attention.
