Better to join in with humanity than to set ourselves apart.

The most heartbreaking thing of all is how we cheat ourselves of the present moment.

The point is that our true nature is not some ideal that we have to live up to. It's who we are right now, and that's what we can make friends with and celebrate.

Impermanence is a principle of harmony. When we don't struggle against it, we are in harmony with reality.

"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.

Inner #‎ peace begins the moment you choose not to allow another person or event to control your #‎ emotions

I have all the support I need to simply relax and be with the transitional, in-process quality of my life. I have all I need to engage in the process of awakening.
