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

As Buddhism moved from one culture to another, it always adapted.

The ego seeks to divide and separate. Spirit seeks to unify and heal.

Letting there be room for not knowing is the most important thing of all. When there's a big disappointment, we don't know if that's the end of the story. It may just be the beginning of a great adventure. Life is like that. We don't know anything. We call something bad; we call it good. But really we just don't know.

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

Even if you don't feel appreciation, just look. Feel what you feel; take an interest and be curious.

The greatest obstacle to connecting with our joy is resentment.
