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

Each moment of life is only as precious as is our ability to attend to it.

Do the moment-to-moment work of dropping anything that wants to drag you down, and Reality itself will see to it that you rise.

No condition outside ourselves can create a rut or trap us in it. It's impossible.

Instead of always asking how to get others to approve of you... learn to ask: What do I really want, the applause of the crowds or to quietly have my own life?

Our greatest strength isn't our ability to imagine brighter days ahead, it is that we are empowered-in every present moment-to effortlessly dismiss any dark thought or feeling that, left unattended, diminishes our happiness.

If I am identified with my relationship, with my house, or with my money, I am doomed to suffer.
