Imagine what you'd do if it absolutely didn't matter what people thought of you. Got it? Good. Never go back.

Most unhappy people need to learn just one lesson: how to see themselves through the lens of genuine compassion, and treat themselves accordingly.

What would you do if you knew that every good thing in your life depended on your getting enough rest? Because it does.

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.

Though we often see life troughs as the universe's conspiracy to ruin us, they're actually our own true nature inviting us to lay down our weary heads.

If anything is worth doing, it is worth doing it badly.

It's only by starting in a place of peace that we find our purpose and power.
