It is impossible to hold a grudge and have peace of mind at the same time. It would be like trying to have day and night exist in the same moment.

A miracle is when we respond with compassion where a moment ago we may have believed there was something to be upset, blaming, or angry about.

Most of us, if we are truly honest with ourselves, have an ever-evolving and ever-growing list of what we think we must change in order to be at peace or to be happy.

What if nothing needs to change other than our perception of what we see?

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.

Forgiveness is essential to health, growth, and healing.

The paradox of acceptance: When our mind becomes less attached and dependent on things being a certain way our happiness in life dramatically improves.
