One of the most liberating personal discoveries I have made is the knowledge that whenever I am upset, there is another way of looking at any situation, person, or condition.

Becoming less focused on the past and future and not resisting the moment is how to overcome fear, physical pain, and all suffering.

For me, the more I don't foolishly waste my life wishing for a better past the more free I am today to create, grow, and love.

Freedom, which is an aspect of health, remains impossible as long as we perceive our bodies as a complete definition of ourselves.

I trust that no loving thought goes unnoticed, even when I do not see immediate gratitude or behavior changes in the other person.

Though few would admit it, most of the time, when people are upset they don't actually want to feel differently, they want agreement and ways to make a situation, condition, or person change.

There is never a circumstance, no matter how catastrophic, that also does not hold within it an opportunity to better things, to better yourself. Every moment brings with it an opportunity to love, to forgive, to grow beyond your shortcomings.
