Enlightenment is the only real antidote to the world's despair.

For every person who might reject you if you live your truth, there are ten others who will embrace you and welcome you home.

The only antidote to chaos is peace itself.

You are completely at choice who you will be today in your interactions with others. Compassionate, kind, giving and forgiving will create one set of probabilities; angry, judgmental, critical and defensive will create another one altogether.

Sometimes when we're feeling sad, it's important just to feel the sadness. Like a snake shedding its skin, old feelings of remorse and regret and hurt and anger often have to come up in order to be released. On the other side we're a better person, capable of a happier life...who we are when we're no longer burdened by the buried feelings that weighed us down, or the self - defeating patterns that the pain produced.

These are very serious times, and serious people need to be doing some serious thinking.

Surrender doesn't obstruct power; it enhances it.
