The past is gone. The future never arrives. In truth, there is no life outside of this moment!

There is nothing wrong with anger. Anger is a beautiful emotion, as valid and rich as joy or laughter. But you have been taught to repress your anger. Your anger has been condemned. If anger is unexpressed, it will slowly poison you. The key is to know how to express your anger. Do not throw it out onto any one. No one is responsible for your anger. Simply express your anger. Beat up a cushion. Go for a run. Express your anger to a tree. Dance your anger. Enjoy it.

As you awaken, the present moment becomes your home. You still play in the world of time, but you're not identified with the story unfolding there.

We are on a journey of becoming that which we already are. That is the impossible paradox of our lives.

Awakening is about liberating yourself from the prison that is the world of the mind and daring to be here as all that you are.

Everything that happens is designed to awaken us. Everything.

If your commitment is to being present, then there will come a time when being present becomes your natural state. The present moment becomes your home. You will have short excursions into the world of the mind, but you never go so far into the mind that you get lost there.
