To be authentic is to stop pretending to be what think you are, because you are not.

Use the power of your word in the direction of truth and love.

We [people] love ourselves with conditions. We need opinions, we need approval, we create an image of ourselves that is not what we are. This how we lose our authenticity and create masks - how we become "domesticated."

Practice makes the Master. You can reconcile what you are and what you want to be.

Whatever happens around you, don't take it personally... Nothing other people do is because of you. It is because of themselves.

Whatever life takes away from you, let it go.

You have to stand up and be a human. You have to honor the man or woman that you are. Respect your body, enjoy your body, love your body, feed, clean, and heal your body. Exercise and do what makes your body feel good. This is a puja to your body, and that is a communion between you and God. . . . When you practice giving love to every part of your body, you plant seeds of love in your mind, and when they grow, you will love, honor, and respect your body immensely.
