Everyone and everything around you is your teacher.

Acceptance doesn't mean that you've resigned yourself to live the rest of your life with a particular person, or in a particular situation. It just means that you won't cause yourself emotional discomfort because of the way things are in this moment.

View others as unfolding beings in their journey toward higher consciousness.

Happiness is experienced when your life gives you what you are willing to accept.

There is nothing that you can do to change the present moment. It simply is. You may be able to change the situation one second, one minute, one hour, or one day from now, but there's absolutely nothing you can do to change the way things are right here and now. By not getting irritated you will be more effective in doing what needs to be done to change the situation for the next moment.

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

Happiness happens when your consciousness is not dominated by addictions and demands - and you experience life as a parade of preferences.
