“You are not creating a new you; you are releasing a hidden you. The process is one of self discovery. The hidden you that wants to emerge is in perfect balance.”

First, say to yourself, ‘I’m totally independent of the good or bad opinions of others.’ Second: ‘I’m beneath no one.’ Third: ‘I’m fearless in the face of any and all challenges.’

The Higher Self is whispering to you softly in the silence between your thoughts.

There are no extra pieces in the universe. Everyone is here because he or she has a place to fill, and every piece must fit itself into the big jigsaw puzzle.

In my stillness I am the eternal possibility. In my movement I am the cosmos.

The ultimate goal of all goals is to be happy. If you want to be happy make someone else happy.

The three things you can offer your children to change them: attention, appreciation and affection.

Start by thinking of the smallest possible action you could take; then, take it. Then, choose the next smallest action, and do that.

The world “out there” won’t change until the world “in here” does.

Love without action is meaningless and action without love is irrelevant.

Take responsibility for your last bad decision, and then let it go. Don’t blame others or make excuses for yourself.

Before making a decision, ask inside for guidance. Be patient and await an answer. Act only when you feel calm and certain.

Be happy for no reason, like a child. If you are happy for a reason, you’re in trouble, because that reason can be taken from you.

Once you know who you really are, being is enough. You feel neither superior to anyone nor inferior to anyone and you have no need for approval because you’ve awakened to your own infinite worth.

Daydream, imagine, and reflect. It’s the source of infinite creativity.

If you knew that miracles could happen, what miracles would you wish for? If you knew that you could have it all and do anything you wanted, what would you choose to have and what would you choose to do?

If you had all the money and all the time in the world, what would you do?!

The news movement conservatives that are just laying out, slathering out the disinformation and the lies, as I discuss in my book, ‘Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them: A Fair and Balanced Look at the Right.’

They had developed all these bad habits of being objective and balanced and stuff like that.

The Republican agenda is a radical vision in which Medicaid is slashed to the bone – in which we start to balance the budget on the backs of, literally, our most vulnerable citizens.

The Dhamma has to be found by looking into your own heart and seeing that which is true and that which is not, that which is balanced and that which is not balanced.

It’s about alleviating stress and controlling breathing. It’s about being balanced.

China hasn’t only existed for one day. Now, the whole nation has become richer and it’s become a problem. The problem is universal. The factor is big. Everybody has to rethink the balance of the world and the whole landscape.

I’ve lost my equilibrium, my car keys, and my pride.

The Buddha’s insight into the middle way is not simply about a balance between extremes. This conventional understanding misses the deeper revelation of the middle way as being the very nature of unexcelled enlightenment.
