When our thoughts look real, we live in a world of suffering. When they look subjective, we live in a world of choice. When they look arbitrary, we live in a world of possibility. And when we see them as illusory, we wake up inside a world of dreams.

We create other people by how we listen to them

If you are doing things in order to be happy... you're doing them in the wrong order.

We tend to think only in terms of what we think is plausible that we could pull off and decide that "that's what I want", instead of focusing on "what do I want?" and then figuring out how we could pull it off.

The universe runs on a fundamental and oh-so-wonderful principle... when you get really clear and honest about what you want, everything in the universe conspires to help you get it.

The secret of happiness is simply this... your happiness does NOT depend on getting what you want.

We are not afraid of what we think we are afraid of . . . we are afraid of what we think.
