The process of spotting fear and refusing to obey it is the source of all true empowerment.

If a problem looks difficult, relax. If it looks impossible, relax even more. Then begin encouraging small changes, putting just enough pressure on yourself to move one turtle step forward. Then rest, savor, celebrate. Then step again. You’ll find that slow is fast, gentle is powerful, and stillness moves mountains.

People don’t cry when they lose their hope. They cry when they get it back.

Don’t worry that you’ve wasted time. Each moment -- no matter how frozen or confused -- was a useful and necessary lesson.

Don't fight fearful thoughts. Just match each one with an alternative thought that brings you more peace.

When you meet people, show real appreciation, then genuine curiosity.

We virtually never feel our age, but thinking that we should can lead to disaster.
