What good is any feeling we may have about ourselves, if it only lasts as long as others agree to it?

The only one interested in hearing your sad story is . . . you; and even you wish you didn't have to relive it again!

If any of those times you rushed around madly - trying to get somewhere faster - had ever made any real difference in the quality of your life... don't you think you'd be able to slow down by now?

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.

Each moment of every one of my relationships serves as the secret path to the summit of myself.

Instead of always asking yourself how to clear up your mental fog, learn to ask: "Can confusion know anything about clarity?"

You don't need strength to let go of something. What you really need is understanding.
