When we scratch the wound and give into our addictions we do not allow the wound to heal.

Feel the wounded heart that's underneath the addiction, self-loathing, or anger.

In the end, that's what we all need more than anything else: to be there for each other, in every kind of situation.

The essence of our whole path is in that place of discomfort, and what do we do with it?

The most difficult times for many of us are the ones we give ourselves.

Mindfulness is loving all the details of our lives, and awareness is the natural thing that happens: life begins to open up, and you realize that you're always standing at the center of the world.

Everything that human beings feel, we feel. We can become extremely wise and sensitive to all of humanity and the whole universe simply by knowing ourselves, just as we are.
