Things become clear when there is no escape.

Someone needs to encourage us not to brush aside what we feel. Not to be ashamed of the love and grief that it arouses in us. Not to be afraid of pain. Someone needs to encourage us: that this soft spot in us could be awakened, and that to do this would change our lives.

All you need to know is that the future is wide open and you are about to create it by what you do.

We cannot be present and run our story-line at the same time.

Ego is like a room of your own, a room with a view with the temperature and the smells and the music that you like. You want it your own way. You'd just like to have a little peace, you'd like to have a little happiness, you know, just gimme a break.

Compassion is not a relationship between the healer and the wounded. It’s a relationship between equals.

Welcome the present moment as if you had invited it. Why? Because it is all we ever have.
