Every relationship that we have in our lives - our contact with each person, place, and event - serves a very special, if yet to be realized purpose: They are mirrors that can serve to show us things about ourselves that can be realized in no other way.

Most people would rather complain about some painful life pattern than dare to meet the level of their own consciousness responsible for its repeated appearance... and therein do the work needed to change it once and for all.

In spite of how things may appear to us, we are never trapped by where we are. The trap is always who we are

The heart at peace is its own reward, needing nothing outside of itself to be fully content.

Letting go, at its heart, is an act of agreement with Life.

The great ones in life are not those who are handed silver spoons. Their excellence comes from digging into the raw ore of their own character, through hard work, persistence and faith turning whatever they touch into gold.

Better that the whole world should turn against you... than you should consent to turn against what is true within you.
