Send out anger and impatience, and that's what you'll get. Send out love, and you'll get back love.

If you have anything in your heart other than love, you've got to get it out.

No one knows enough to be a pessimist

I've always been a generous and a kind person and so on, but never, ever have I experienced that kind of love. The world just looked different to me and still does.

I think it's just recognizing that who you are is not any of the stuff that you have. It's not any of the things of the ego. Coming to that awareness is a very hard thing for most people to do - but that's an excuse. If you tell yourself it's too hard, then you won't take it on. But right now, for most people, it's almost an impossibility to do so, because they're so attached to "I am what I have"; "I am what I do"; "I am what my reputation is"; or "I am all of this material stuff."

With everything that has happened to you, you can either feel sorry for yourself or treat what has happened as a gift. Everything is either an opportunity to grow or an obstacle to keep you from growing. You get to choose.

When you live on a round planet, there's no choosing sides.
