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

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

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

For years I was so busy building walls I did not see I was imprisoning myself behind them, and did not recognize this pattern as being addiction. My addictive thinking and behavior became the bars of my cell. Denying feeling empty inside, I constantly looked for new things to acquire, people to be around, substances to take, and new goals to achieve in order to feel better about myself. Over the last four decades I have focused on healing my addictive mind and helping others do the same.

Many people live in a self-imposed prison and don't even know it.

You may not have chosen what is happening to your body, but you can choose how you respond.

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