Taking responsibility means not blaming yourself. Anything that takes away your power or your pleasure makes you a victim. Don't make yourself a victim of yourself!

What I try to control ends up controlling me.

Patience means knowing it will happen . . . and giving it time to happen.

Rejection never feels good, but it certainly hurts less when we are not needing something from the person who is rejecting us.

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

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.

Remember that underlying all our fears is a lack of trust in ourselves.
