Not only are we going to shift in our own lives - away from always trying to identify ourselves on the basis of what we have, what we do, and who we are better than, and so on - but shift into more reaching out, more service, more kindness, more living the virtues that Lao Tzu spoke about twenty-five hundred years ago.

I think my mission is to support people in being steadfast in not having thoughts of harm - thoughts of judgment, worry, or hatred - directed toward themselves or others.

I think the most common meme is that it's too difficult to change. It's too risky to change. My nature doesn't allow me to change. When you're thinking that, you're not understanding what your nature is. All of us come from this place of well-being, love, and kindness. But we've taken on these other things, and we think that they're our nature. Our nature really is to be like God.

You will find it easier to accept contrary views, knowing that you are not defined by anything or anyone external to yourself.

No one can create negativity or stress within you. Only you can do that by virtue of how you process your world.

The soul is timeless and nonlocal.

You are connected to God.You are enjoying every single day you have.Then, the growth of you - and your store, if you have one - will take care of themselves.
