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

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.

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.

When we combine acceptance with self-responsibility we can then see that whenever we are in a painful or disturbing situation we have two choices: We can work compassionately to bring something positive to the situation or leave. However, the key is the mental stance that we make the choice from, and thus the first step is always accepting the moment without resistance.

Forgiveness is essential to health, growth, and healing.

The core of who you are, your true nature, is Love.

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