When we are unable to love and appreciate ourselves and our efforts, we run away from our mistakes and failures, rather than learning from them.

No one spiritual path is better than another, although one may accept the universe's role in life more than another.

Every living thing is both a whole system in and of itself as well as an essential part of other systems.

Healing and positive life change comes from having the courage and spiritual conviction to look squarely at life's impermanence.

To assume you know someone well enough that you can and do predict their behavior and mental perspective is a gross and often tragic mistake, for it eliminates that person's freedom to create his or her own opinion and drastically affects the emerging picture of the relationship.

If you want to change an external part of your life, then you are first required to change the internal beliefs that hold these patterns in place. If you want others to respond to you or your work in different ways and with more appreciation, then examine your expectations for your work and your efforts. When you believe in yourself, chances are others will find your worth also.
