On the other side of resistance is the flow of real life.

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.

We need to see, and agree that what we seek already lives within us, and we within it. Now we know our one great task: watch for whatever promises us freedom, and then quietly, consciously refuse to see ourselves through the eyes of what we know is incomplete. Then we live wholeness itself, instead of spending our lives looking for it.

Each time we see and are touched by the expression of some eternal principle, we catch a sweet glimpse of some aspect of our True Self.

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

Never run from what you don't understand, as it will be waiting for you every time you come to a stop.

You cannot separate the onset of a disturbing moment in life from the appearance of some simultaneous new possibility to know a deeper and more unshakable sense of peace.
