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.

In spite of how things may appear to us, we are never trapped by where we are. The trap is always who we are

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

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.

Who you really are, your True Nature, is no more tied to the kind of person you've been than the wind is tied to the skies through which it moves. Your past is just that, the past, a place within your psyche with no more reality to it than a picture of a castle on a postcard is made from stone. You have a destination far beyond where you find yourself standing today.

Any form of measuring yourself by the unkind action of another towards you is like looking into a badly fractured mirror... and then blaming yourself for the shattered image you see therein.

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