What laughter is to childhood, sex is to adolescence.

It isn’t necessary to know exactly how your ideal life will look; you only have to know what feels better and what feels worse…Begin making choices based on what makes you feel freer and happier, rather than on how you think an ideal life should look. It’s the process of feeling our way toward happiness, not the realization of the Platonic ideal, that creates our best lives.

Your life follows your attention. Wherever you look, you end up going.

Most people think that once they've found their purpose and the power to practice it, they'll finally be at peace. Actually, though, it's only by starting in a place of peace that we find our purpose and power. Peace is the first step and the final lesson we all need to learn.

Loneliness is proof that your innate search for connection is intact.

To make an activity joyful, keep adding things until the activity as a whole becomes more appealing than repulsing.

Creating ways to be happy is your life's work, a challenge that won't end until you die.
