Every moment of your life is infinitely creative and the universe is endlessly bountiful

We may overcompensate for our feelings of powerlessness by attempting to control and manipulate other people and our environment. Or we may eventually burst forth with uncontrolled rage that is highly exaggerated and distorted by its long suppression.

I think in the Western world we have gotten overly identified with doing, and we've kind of forgotten about the art of being. And we don't see value in it; we think that if you're not doing something all of the time, being very active and producing something, then you're sort of wasting your time.

Notice what happens when you follow your intuitive feelings. The result is usually increased energy and power, and a sense of things flowing.

Ambition is an idol, on whose wings great minds are carried only to extreme; to be sublimely great or to be nothing.

Everything that happens to us can be looked at as a gift. Although it's quite difficult when you're in the middle of a hard struggle with something, it's hard to see it as a gift, but in retrospect, we can almost always look back and say, "Oh, I see why I had to go through that."
