If you did nothing but pursue the truth about yourself for the rest of your life, you would never run out of fresh discoveries.

Don't let your life revolve around whatever you're trying not to do or feel. Live to experience, not to avoid.

I have discovered that many of the things I thought were priceless are as cheap as costume jewelry, and much of what I labeled worthless was, all the time, filled with the kind of beauty that directly nourishes my soul... Now I think that the vast majority of us "normal" people spend our lives trashing our treasures and treasuring our trash. We bustle around trying to create the impression that we are hip, imperturbable, omniscient, in perfect control, when in fact we are awkward and scared and bewildered.

I am free, and always have been; free to accept my own reality, free to trust my perceptions, free to believe what makes me feel sane even if others call me crazy, free to disagree even if it means great loss, free to seek the way home until I find it.

Perpetually doing, without ever tuning in to the center of our being, is the equivalent of fueling a mighty ship by tossing all its navigational equipment into the furnace.

When making a decision, focus on what feels "shackles off" versus "shackles on".

There are things that can only happen through you when you are still. Silence is often the most important work you can do.
