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

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 rests on finding the meaning and lessons even in our greatest pain.

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.

You can learn to direct yourself to be peaceful inside regardless of what is happening with your body.

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.

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