The future is completely open and we are writing it moment to moment.

We cannot be present and run our story-line at the same time.

The Process of becoming unstuck requires tremendous bravery, because basically we are completely changing our way of perceiving reality.

It isn't the things that happen to us in our lives that cause us to suffer, it's how we relate to the things that happen to us that causes us to suffer.

We work on ourselves in order to help others, but also we help others in order to work on ourselves.

My experience with forgiveness is that it sort of comes spontaneously at a certain point and to try to force it it's not really forgiveness. It's Buddhist philosophy or something spiritual jargon that you're trying to live up to but you're just using it against yourself as a reason why you're not okay.

All the terrible things we do to ourselves and others from alcoholism to character assignation to abuse to murder come from one cause: the inability to stay present with an uncomfortable feeling in the body and seek short-term relief.
