This very moment is the perfect teacher, and, lucky for us, it's with us wherever we go.

It isn't what happens to us that causes us to suffer; it's what we say to ourselves about what happens.

Each time you stay present with fear and uncertainty, you're letting go of a habitual way of finding security and comfort.

None of us is ever OK, but we all get through everything just fine.

We have a choice. We can spend our whole life suffering because we can't relax with how things really are, or we can relax and embrace the open-endedness of the human situation, which is fresh, unfixated, unbiased.

Awareness is the key. Do we see the stories that we're telling ourselves and question their validity?

This is the tendency of all living things: to avoid pain and to cling to pleasure.
