The person with a safe center doesn't fear change. We can choose change without fear before a challenge only when we are strongly centered.

We may not be able to create or control all of the events that impact our lives but we can create and control our responses to everything that we experience.

We live with many thoughts, emotions, and habits, but at the same time we have other eyes, another mind capable of watching all of these things. Those who practice self-cultivation find that mind; they live with it and they die with it.

This is a beautiful and hopeful time to be alive. We are at a turning point, and your contribution to the world is needed more than ever. All of your struggles, all the struggles of your ancestors, all the struggles of all life have led to this moment right now. You are the culmination of life's great yearning; you are the hope of the world.

Change is the very nature of nature.

In order to be the master of your life, you must first recognize that you are the rightful master of your brain, its owner and operator.

There is a serious discrepancy between what we really wants, and what we usually do to get what we think we want. What we really want is to fill the hole inside and become complete, and what we do is look for success and growth outside.
