There's no difference between what is seen and the mind that sees it.

Simply notice that you're aware. At any given moment, you can choose to follow the chain of thoughts, emotions, and sensations that reinforce a perception of yourself as vulnerable and limited, or to remember that your true nature is pure, unconditioned, and incapable of being harmed.

We're all buddhas. We just don't recognize it.

The mind is the source of all experience, and by changing the direction of the mind, we can change the quality of everything we experience.

So overall, though my life is far from perfect, I'm contented with it. And in a peculiar way, I'm grateful for the troubling emotions I experienced. The obstacles we face in life can provide powerful incentives for change.

Within our perceived weaknesses and imperfections lies the key to realizing our true strength.
