No condition outside ourselves can create a rut or trap us in it. It's impossible.

Walk lightly through life.

Instead of always asking how to get others to approve of you... learn to ask: What do I really want, the applause of the crowds or to quietly have my own life?

Do the moment-to-moment work of dropping anything that wants to drag you down, and Reality itself will see to it that you rise.

Who you really are, your True Nature, is no more tied to the kind of person you've been than the wind is tied to the skies through which it moves.

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?"

Nothing glows brighter than the heart awakened to the unseen light of love that lives within it.
