Life is full of tough decisions, and nothing makes them easy. But the worst ones are really your personal koans, and tormenting ambivalence is just the sense of satori rising. Try, trust, try, and trust again, and eventually you'll feel your mind change its focus to a new level of understanding.

Anyone who comes into your life, under any circumstances, has something to teach you.

Many of us assume that we have to do things a certain way: ignore passion in favor of safer bets, act stoic amid inner turmoil, run on an upward trajectory of success and money acquisition at any emotional cost. But these are not rules.

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

The way that other people judge me is none of my business.

The only way to the Place beyond Fear is to do the thing you fear most. This is how to surrender to your best destiny.
