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?

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

On the other side of resistance is the flow of real life.

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

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?

Real change isn't found in some new way to think about yourself, but in freedom from the need to think about yourself at all.

The real quality of our life is not determined by what we have won from it, but by what we have discovered within it.
