It is possible to move through the drama of our lives without believing so earnestly in the character that we play.

What if rather than being disheartened by the ambiguity, the uncertainty of life, we accepted it and relaxed into it?

Constantly apply cheerfulness, if for no other reason than because you are on this spiritual path. Have a sense of gratitude to everything, even difficult emotions, because of their potential to wake you up.

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.

Everybody loves something, even if it's only tortillas.

The essence of bravery is being without self-deception.

Blaming is a way to protect your heart, trying to protect what is soft and open and tender in yourself.
