Everything passes. There is great beauty in this, both in the passing of pain and in the passing of pleasure. When things present themselves to you as permanent, don't believe it.

If you love getting gifts - and who doesn't - then why not accept, with gratitude, the greatest gift there is: the present moment.

If you want light to come into your life, you need to stand where it is shining.

The only reason your mind won't stop its endless chattering is because you won't stop listening to it!

The greatest power you possess in life is your understanding that life gives you a fresh start any moment you choose.

Trying to change ourselves in order to please others - so that we can feel temporarily whole for having won their approval - is like cutting a flower into pieces so that it will fit into a vase.

You must dare to do the thing you think cannot be done... as this is the only way to discover that there's nothing you can't do.
