“Get bored with your past, it’s over!”

Faith in anything, be it positive or negative, produces results. Putting faith in fear generates destructive results, beginning with the disintegration of our ability to relate confidently to the external world.

So long as we use comfort and security as our criteria of success, we will fear our own intuitive guidance because by its very nature it directs us into new cycles of learning that are sometimes uncomfortable.

The reason you have descended into physical life is to unleash the power of your soul upon Earth.

Choice is your greatest power. It is an even greater power than love, because you must first choose to be a loving person.

Between thinking and seeing, there is a place called knowing.

When you do not seek or need approval, you are at your most powerful.

Healing is a different type of pain. It’s the pain of becoming aware of the power of one’s strength and weakness, of one’s capacity to love or do damage to oneself and to others, and of how the most challenging person to control in life is ultimately yourself.

If you don’t appreciate what you have in life right now, whatever it is, you will never realize your purpose. Without appreciation, you will never become strong enough to respect yourself.

The love that flows through your heart purifies not only your own spirit, but the love you share with others.

Your spirit is the part of you that seeks meaning and purpose. It’s the part drawn to hope, that will not give in to despair.

While we measure our own success in terms of our personal comfort and security, the universe measures our success by how much we have learned.

Wounds are the means through which we enter the hearts of other people. They are meant to teach us to become compassionate and wise.

Master your responses to external events–don’t attempt to control them.

Let me give up the need to know why things happen as they do. I will never know and constant wondering is constant suffering.

Spiritual maturity is measured not by the sophistication of a person’s opinions, but by their genuineness and the courage necessary to express and maintain them.

People know when they’ve betrayed themselves. They are very much aware when they are not honest with themselves. They hear the voice that says, “You shouldn’t have said that” or “You know that’s not right.”

Even boredom should be described with gusto. How many things are happening on a day when nothing happens?

I can’t play long solos anymore without boring myself.

Love yourself through all storms, calm moments and boredom – know you deserve love.

I don’t like the idea of agents in a typical form. The idea of agents, to me, brings up the idea of a man in a very boring suit who’s not very good looking and doesn’t have much attention to style.

Working out is incredibly boring. I swear it’s true that the bigger your muscles get, the fewer brain cells you have.

The Beatles saved the world from boredom.

I mean, the sound of an amplified guitar in a room full of people was so hypnotic and addictive to me, that I could cross any kind of border to get on there.

Laughter is, above all, a corrective. Being intended to humiliate, it must make a painful impression on the person against whom it is directed. By laughter, society avenges itself for the liberties taken with it. It would fail in its object if it bore the stamp of sympathy or kindness.
