Disappointment, discouragement, and despair are nothing but the bitter fruit of an unfulfilled expectation allowed to live beyond its time.

Walk lightly through life.

The right attitude toward any negative state begins with understanding that its only authority over you is a direct reflection of your attitude towards it.

Being anxious, or in a painful rush of any kind, kills the possibility of meeting anyone with compassion

You must learn to stop thinking in terms of beginnings and endings, successes and failures, and begin to treat everything in your life as a learning experience instead of a proving one.

Much like the hands of a clock go nowhere fast, anxious thoughts run us round-and-round without taking us anywhere!

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.
