The secret self knows the anguish of our attachments and assures us that letting go of what we think we must have to be happy is the same as letting go of our unhappiness.

Talking to yourself proves only one thing: you're still unable to tell the difference between good and bad company.

No one rises above who he or she has been without first having fallen down. The best time - in fact, the only time - to make a real change in your life is in the moment of seeing the need for it. He who hesitates always gets lost in the hundred reasons why tomorrow is a better day to get started.

To know that every moment — regardless of how it comes wrapped — is a gift greater than you can give yourself, is to be well on your way to a life without fear.

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.

Staying present, living in Presence is the best gift anyone can give to those they love.

To be more aware, we need only listen for and let go of the thoughts which steal our attention.
