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

We tend to forget that we are part of the natural scheme of things.

If someone comes along and shoots an arrow into your heart, it's fruitless to stand there and yell at the person. It would be much better to turn your attention to the fact that there's an arrow in your heart.

Every day is a new opportunity to work with what you have inside toward enlightenment.

Never underestimate the power of compassionately recognizing what's going on.

Next, feel your heart, literally placing your hand on your chest if you find that helpful. This is a way of accepting yourself just as you are in that moment, a way of saying, "This is my experience right now, and it's okay." Then go into the next moment without any agenda.

There comes a time when the bubble of ego is popped and you can’t get the ground back for an extended period of time. Those times, when you absolutely cannot get it back together, are the most rich and powerful times in our lives.
