Learning to let go of expectations is a ticket to peace. It allows us to ride over every crisis—small or large, brother-in-law or end-of-quarter office lockdown—like a beach ball on water. The next time a problem arises in your life, take a deep breath, let out a sigh, and replace the thought Oh no! with the thought Okay.

During the times we think we’re being “unproductive,” the seeds of new worlds are germinating within us, and they need peace to grow.

Whenever you go somewhere that speaks to your soul, you are going home to yourself.

Your individuality is the most valuable thing you have.

We can’t save ourselves from fear by seeking safety, because safety always means there’s something to be safe from-in other words, something to fear. The way out of fear isn’t safety. It’s freedom.

I have come to believe that there are infinite passageways out of the shadows, infinite vehicles to transport us into the light.

Play until it's time to rest, then rest until it's time to play.
