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

If we only knew how many times our seemingly clever comment cut straight into the heart of the person with whom we have just spoken, it is we who would bleed.

Do the moment-to-moment work of dropping anything that wants to drag you down, and Reality itself will see to it that you rise.

We become what we love. What we put first in our lives is what we receive from life.

Instead of always asking how to get others to approve of you... learn to ask: What do I really want, the applause of the crowds or to quietly have my own life?

It's time to break our ties with anything in us that would rather complain about its situation than go to work to change it.

The only thing worried thoughts have the power to change is what the next thing will be for you to worry over!
