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

Real change isn't found in some new way to think about yourself, but in freedom from the need to think about yourself at all.

The more time we spend considering the shortcomings of others, the smaller a person we become.

Psychologically speaking, what is true requires no protection, and never becomes negative when challenged. On the other hand, what is false almost never stops trying to protect itself, which it does by finding fault with whatever or whoever challenges the false image behind which it always hides.

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?

Instead of always asking yourself why so-and-so acts this or that way, learn to ask: "What's inside of me that wants to hurt itself over how anyone else acts?"

The limit of your present understanding is not the limit of your possibilities.
