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.

You can learn from your health challenge what is most important and become a better human being.

If you believe you are an effect of the world around you - that your happiness is dependent on this thing or that person - then you are always going to be a victim of circumstance to one degree or another.

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

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.

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.

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.
