Creativity springs from the yearning to be the fullness of who you are.

If you would truly bring peace to the world, identify with that place within you where you are Peace.

Our whole spiritual transformation brings us to the point where we realize that in our own being, we are enough.

All that you seek is already within you. In Hinduism it is called the Atman, in Buddhism the pure Buddha-Mind. Christ said, 'the kingdom of heaven is within you.'

Aging has its own beauty. It is a beautiful stage for doing inner work. You have a chance to not be so dependent on social approval. You can be a little more eccentric. You can be more alone. And you can examine loneliness and boredom instead of being afraid of them. There is such an art and a possibility of aging.
