Fear is always the result of an unquestioned past imagined as a future.
If you are mentally somewhere else, you miss real life
When a thought hurts, that’s the signal that it isn’t true.
There is no peace in the world until you find peace within yourself in this moment.
There are no physical problems-only mental ones.
The end of suffering happens in this very moment, whether you're watching a terrorist attack or doing the dishes. And compassion begins at home. Because I don't believe my thoughts, sadness can't exist. That's how I can go to the depths of anyone's suffering, if they invite me, and take them by the hand and walk them out of it into the sunlight of reality. I've taken that walk myself.
I am never unhappy, you can achieve that as well.
Lack of understanding is always painful.
Some of us are returning to sanity, because we're tired of the pain. We're in a hurry. No time to mess around.
I am the perpretor of my suffering - but only all of it.
When you act like a teacher, it's usually because you're afraid to be the student.
If I think that someone else is causing my problem, I'm insane.
Nothing ever goes wrong in life.
Judge your neighbor, write it down. Ask four questions, turn it around.
