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.

The only mistake that we can make as human beings is to be asleep, unaware of ourselves.

Weak thoughts and feelings often feel strong but remember, real strength is never anxious, cruel, or punishing.

Any form of measuring yourself by the unkind action of another towards you is like looking into a badly fractured mirror... and then blaming yourself for the shattered image you see therein.

You cannot separate the onset of a disturbing moment in life from the appearance of some simultaneous new possibility to know a deeper and more unshakable sense of peace.

Chasing after a pleasure to ease a pain is like running after a breeze to cool you down.

Eventually, we reach the point where we start to realize that we are not going to find peace, contentment, happiness, strength, fearlessness - all of the things that in our heart of hearts we wish we had - outside of us.
