Recurrent floods of sadness and anger gradually wash away the rubble of the defunct relationship, leaving only the bits of treasure: the remembered moments of real communion, a new understanding of your own mistakes, a clear picture of the dysfunctions you will never tolerate again.

Remember, intimacy increases with honesty. Share less to keep people away and more to draw them closer.

The only map of your right life is written on your soul at its most peaceful, and the only sure compass is your heart at its most open.

If you want to end your isolation, you must be honest about what you want at a core level and decide to go after it.

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.

This very moment of your life, if you experience it fully, will show you astonishing wonders and exquisite delights.

You can't stay well without telling--and living--the truth.
