Your teacher might be a child who takes you by the hand and asks you a question that you hadn't considered before, and your answer to the child is your answer to yourself.

I really think I am where I am in spite of my training, not because of it. I don't know how unique my work is, because I never compare it.

Attitude is an inner concept. It is the most important thing you can develop in your life.

Here is an affirmation for today: I feel passionately about my life, and this passion fills me with excitement and energy!

Most people tell themselves these excuses - I've always been this way, this is my nature, I can't help it - that are just memes. They're belief systems that keep you from being able to become all that you are intended to become. They're impediments to reaching God-realization, or Tao-centeredness. People lose track of their purpose, because they are so back there - living in their past. Byron Katie speaks about this: Who would you be without your story? Carlos Castaneda used to say if you don't have a story, you don't have to live up to it. So get rid of your story.

I have felt independent of the opinions of others in terms of whether or not I should or shouldn't be doing that. There's something that I allow to consult myself within myself rather than looking outside to see if this is right or not.

Beware of the temptation to see yourself as unfairly treated.
