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?"

Those who dare to try what others only dream of - never fail to discover that real effort is always rewarded.

If any of those times you rushed around madly - trying to get somewhere faster - had ever made any real difference in the quality of your life... don't you think you'd be able to slow down by now?

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

The Peace you long for also longs for you.

Make it your moment-to-moment aim to recognize the difference between being aware of your thoughts, and being carried along by them.

Listening to your own mind gives you "good reasons" why you should be fearful over unexpected events is just like being friends with someone who thinks it's funny to find new ways to hurt you!
