Each time that you don't know you are choosing, then of those choices you are not the chooser.

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.

Your past is just that, the past, a place within your psyche with no more reality to it then the picture of a castle on a postcard is made from stone.

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

Freedom is not overcoming what you think stands in your way. It is understanding that what is in your way is part of the way.

Act on what you love, not from what you fear, and watch how fear fades as love grows.

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