Vague goals produce vague results

Whatever goal you give to your subconscious mind, it will work night and day to achieve.

When you think you can't, revisit a previous triumph.

One of the things that may get in the way of people ... is that they're not in touch with their passion. If you're passionate about what it is you do, then you're going to be looking for everything you can to get better at it.

One way to kill an opportunity is to avoid taking it.

The true task of spiritual life is not found in faraway places or unusual states of consciousness. It is here in the present. It asks of us a welcoming spirit to greet all that life presents to us with a wise, respectful, and kindly heart. We can bow to both beauty and suffering, to our entanglements and confusion, to our fears and to the injustices of the world. Honoring the truth in this way is the path to freedom.

Love and fear are the two opposite ends of the continuum, as far as I'm concerned. When we are not in love, we are in fear.
