The great ones in life are not those who are handed silver spoons. Their excellence comes from digging into the raw ore of their own character, through hard work, persistence and faith turning whatever they touch into gold.

Weak thoughts and feelings often feel strong but remember, real strength is never anxious, cruel, or punishing.

False life is exhausting; Real Life is inexhaustible.

Your past is just that, the past, a place within your psyche with no more reality to it then the picture of a castle on a postcard is made from stone.

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.

I am willing to walk toward, and then through, whatever may be seen in the moment as being greater than myself.

Believing that anxious thoughts and feelings can restore order to your life is like using a chain-saw to fold your laundry.
