If you love getting gifts - and who doesn't - then why not accept, with gratitude, the greatest gift there is: the present moment.

The only world in which "defeat" exists as a reality is the one darkened by the false idea that what may have happened to us a moment ago is the same as what's possible for us to achieve now.

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

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.

Until you can love what the truth would teach you about yourself... then your love is incomplete.

Make it your moment-to-moment aim to recognize the difference between being aware of your thoughts, and being carried along by them.

Every truth ever discovered -- each new light that will ever burn bright -- already exists in our consciousness. All we will ever know and share about love, humility, compassion, and sacrifice -- the secrets that will reveal and then resolve old sorrows -- awaits us within ourselves. Hidden in this truth is our great promise, both as individuals and as a race of beings.
