Weak thoughts and feelings often feel strong but remember, real strength is never anxious, cruel, or punishing.

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

Trying to “fix” the people in your life that cause you pain is like massaging your shoes because your feet ache.

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.

An unattended mind is the breeding ground of self-defeat.

Spend everyday casual, but industrious Every moment alert, but relaxed.

The only way to cultivate a quiet mind is by planting seeds of silence.
