Act on what you love, not from what you fear, and watch how fear fades as love grows.

In spite of how things may appear to us, we are never trapped by where we are. The trap is always who we are

Being anxious, or in a painful rush of any kind, kills the possibility of meeting anyone with compassion

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.

Real prayer, the soul-transformi ng kind, is self-discontinu ity. It is a conscious act of self-suspension arising from the wish for something new to occur.

Who you really are, your True Nature, is no more tied to the kind of person you've been than the wind is tied to the skies through which it moves. Your past is just that, the past, a place within your psyche with no more reality to it than a picture of a castle on a postcard is made from stone. You have a destination far beyond where you find yourself standing today.

Much like the hands of a clock go nowhere fast, anxious thoughts run us round-and-round without taking us anywhere!
