We are not the personalities that our egos are so valiantly defending. Our personalities are simply the result of our current programming.

It is only your mental habits and your selected memories of how you think things are that keep you from moulding things in your life in a more harmonious way.

Everyone and everything around you is your teacher.

No one that ever lived has ever had enough power, prestige, or knowledge to overcome the basic condition of all life - you win some and you lose some.

When you accept yourself completely you do not have to maintain a phony front, drive yourself to ''achieve'' or feel insecure if people tune-in to you and what you are doing.

Even when we get what we addictively want, our wanting to keep things that way automatically creates a new addiction.

If your washing machine stops working and you're addicted to appliances that work, you'll get upset and you will suffer. If you prefer that your appliances work well, then when your washing machine breaks down you won't compound the problem by superimposing your uncomfortable emotions on the situation.
