The only way to get rid of the fear of doing something is to go out... and do it.

When you put loving thoughts and behavior into the world, you plant seeds of self-respect. When you put unloving thoughts and behavior into the world, you destroy seeds of self-respect.

A ship in harbour is safe, but it's not fulfilling its potential

As your awareness of the riches available to you in your everyday life grows, you are on the way to becoming the laughing Buddha. Life is joyous. Life is Light. Life is happy. You are awake at last.

We don't have to wait until we are old to gather the riches... We can gather them every day of our lives.

Complaining will not change things in your life; only action will. Make a list of all you need to do to change what doesn't work in your life and, little by little, begin making those changes.

At the bottom of all our fears is simply the that we can't handle what life hands us.
