Most of our stress and suffering come not from events, but from our thoughts. Reframe from negative thoughts, and stress subsides.

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.

We are a time-starved people, obsessed with fitting huge achievements into our few years. In the process, we often fill our buckets with things that don't matter or work. But when we give up on trying to change what can't be changed, and simply embrace what we love, a miracle occurs. We notice that the moment to be happy has already arrived. It's here, now.

No part of your experience is wasted. Everything you've experienced so far is part of what you were meant to learn.

To attract something that you want, become as joyful as you think that thing would make you.

At times in my life, I have been utterly lonely. At other times, I've had disgusting infectious diseases. Try admitting these things in our culture.

Your individuality is the most valuable thing you have.
