See that any time you feel pained or defeated, it is only because you insist on clinging to what doesn't work. Dare to let go and you won't lose a thing except for a punishing idea.

You don't need strength to let go of something. What you really need is understanding.

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?"

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

Instead of always asking yourself how to clear up your mental fog, learn to ask: "Can confusion know anything about clarity?"

It's a paradox of the true spiritual path, but the more conscious we become of what limits us, the more limitless becomes our life.

Trying to “fix” the people in your life that cause you pain is like massaging your shoes because your feet ache.
