Work to connect yourself to the allness of life -- instead of identifying with the smallness of it -- and you'll awaken to a greatness already living within you that is no more bothered by the little things in life than a mountain is made miserable by the rain that falls upon it.

The belief that you have no choice but to keep suffering through whatever frightens you is like believing you have to hold onto a scalding cup so that you won't spill your coffee!

Eventually, we reach the point where we start to realize that we are not going to find peace, contentment, happiness, strength, fearlessness - all of the things that in our heart of hearts we wish we had - outside of us.

The more time we spend considering the shortcomings of others, the smaller a person we become.

The right attitude toward any negative state begins with understanding that its only authority over you is a direct reflection of your attitude towards it.

It only seems that there is something more important for you to do than to just quietly be yourself.

Getting stressed and struggling to change the outcome of any past event is like arguing with an echo to make it see your point of view.
