Looking to any angry, anxious, or otherwise stressed emotional state to help you sort out the pain you're in is like trying to organize your monthly bills by throwing them into a blender

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

Freedom is not overcoming what you think stands in your way. It is understanding that what is in your way is part of the way.

What you don't want to know about yourself wants to be known, which is why it keeps 'showing up' at your door unannounced!

Better that the whole world should turn against you... than you should consent to turn against what is true within you.

Never run from what you don't understand, as it will be waiting for you every time you come to a stop.

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.
