Allow yourself emotion-backed demands only for physical necessities such as air to breathe, food if starving, and shelter if freezing.

Everyone and everything around you is your teacher.

The outside conditions of your life do not make you feel either secure or insecure. One person may feel secure with practically no money at all, while another may feel insecure with a million dollars in the bank. Your feelings of security or insecurity are due to your emotional programming.

Think of the world as a loving place that is designed to give you everything that you need.

You can always create your own experience of life in a beautiful and enjoyable way if you keep your love turned on within you- regardless of what other people say or do.

You add to the suffering in the world when you take offense, just as much as you do when you give offense.

Serenity is the end - and serenity is also the means - by which you live effectively.
