Trust in your truth. It will be the best decision you ever make.

We are a time-starved people, obsessed with fitting huge achievements into our few years. In the process, we often fill our buckets with things that don't matter or work. But when we give up on trying to change what can't be changed, and simply embrace what we love, a miracle occurs. We notice that the moment to be happy has already arrived. It's here, now.

I really do think that any deep crisis is an opportunity to make your life extraordinary in some way.

It seems to me at this moment that laughing is a serious thing, that it connects us with truth and love and God.

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.

In fact, when care appears, unconditional love often vanishes.

Judgments that constrain your giving are the very demons that are keeping you from receiving.
