spiritual ruts impossible
No condition outside ourselves can create a rut or trap us in it. It's impossible.
mistake self-conscious humans
The only mistake that we can make as human beings is to be asleep, unaware of ourselves.
real needs firsts
No one rises above who he or she has been without first having fallen down. The best time - in fact, the only time - to make a real change in your life is in the moment of seeing the need for it. He who hesitates always gets lost in the hundred reasons why tomorrow is a better day to get started.
summer spring fall
Once something has outlived its usefulness in one area of life, its purpose for being in existence is no longer the same. The leaf that captures a stream of sunlight, and then transfers its energy to the tree, serves one purpose in the spring and summer, and another completely different one through the fall and winter.
pain stress emotional
Looking to any angry, anxious, or otherwise stressed emotional state to help you sort out the pain you're in is like trying to organize your monthly bills by throwing them into a blender
loss reality ideas
The only world in which "defeat" exists as a reality is the one darkened by the false idea that what may have happened to us a moment ago is the same as what's possible for us to achieve now.
world should turns
Better that the whole world should turn against you... than you should consent to turn against what is true within you.
heart light fearless
When you realize no one else on this earth can be like you... that no other soul may know the beauty, sorrow, light and darkness you alone are given to see... then you will, at last, be the fearless individual your Heart of hearts has called you to be.
stones life-is concrete
No experience in life is set in stone unless we ourselves have unwittingly poured the concrete!
dark self defeat
Self-pity is the campsite of self-defeat; it is a dark refuge for those parts of us that would rather wallow in what cannot be than dare to explore what is possible.
watches love-grows what-you-love
Act on what you love, not from what you fear, and watch how fear fades as love grows.
world changing-the-world conscious
We can only begin to change the world around us when we are willing to become a conscious part of all that is changing.
moments appearance possibility
You cannot separate the onset of a disturbing moment in life from the appearance of some simultaneous new possibility to know a deeper and more unshakable sense of peace.
disappointment expectations despair
Disappointment, discouragement, and despair are nothing but the bitter fruit of an unfulfilled expectation allowed to live beyond its time.
