Compassion for others begins with kindness to ourselves.

A warrior accepts that we can never know what will happen to us next.

Wholeheartedly do what it takes to awaken your clear-seeing intelligence, but one day at a time, one moment at a time. If we live that way, we will benefit this earth.

"Be grateful to everyone" is about making peace with the aspects of ourselves that we have rejected... If we were to make a list of people we don't like - people we find obnoxious, threatening, or worthy of contempt - we would discover much about those aspects of ourselves that we can't face... other people trigger the karma that we haven't worked out.

Sticking with that uncertainty, getting the knack of relaxing in the midst of chaos, learning not to panic-this is the spiritual path.

Being satisfied with what we already have is a magical golden key to being alive in a full, unrestricted, and inspired way.

We don't set out to save the world; we set out to wonder how other people are doing and to reflect on how our actions affect other people's hearts.
