To sing with the voice of angels as we do the work of angels. To laugh with the laugh of Buddha as we go to our awakening. To extend the arms of Jesus to welcome the presence of children and let them climb into our hearts.

To live for results would be to sentence myself to continuous frustration. My only sure reward is in my actions and not from them.

No matter what we talk about, we are talking about ourselves

Peace, or freedom from conflict, is the absolute core of happiness. It is in learning to watch our sense of peace that we avoid unhappiness. All forms of misery are heralded by a frame of mind that must become immediately recognizable if we are ever to gain mastery in happiness...Take the time to look in your heart and be clear. Walk through life being clear. Practice doing each thing in peace.

I can't be found in myself; I discover myself in others. That much is clear. And I suspect that I also love and care for myself in others.

Some people will like me and some won't. So I might as well be myself, and then at least I'll know that the people who like me, like me.

It's not that "today is the first day of the rest of my life," but that now is all there is of my life.
