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.

You must dare to do the thing you think cannot be done... as this is the only way to discover that there's nothing you can't do.

Far better is it for you to go through one small thing that frightens you than to make a thousand plans for an imagined fearless day to come.

We conquer ourselves by learning patience, for she gives to us our longed for victory only in the surrender of self.

When you realize no one else on this earth can be like you... that no other soul may know the beauty, sorrow, light and darkness you alone are given to see... then you will, at last, be the fearless individual your Heart of hearts has called you to be.

What good is any feeling we may have about ourselves, if it only lasts as long as others agree to it?

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.
