“It’s not the darkness that people fear; it’s what they imagine into the darkness.”

Being present means living without control and always having your needs met.

Mind changes, and as a result, the world changes. A clear mind heals everything that needs to be healed.

The last story: God is everything, God is good.

If you knew how important you are, you would fragment into a billion pieces and just be light.

I am never unhappy, you can achieve that as well.

You’re never given more pain than you can handle. You never, ever get more than you can take.

How do I know it was meant to happen this way? Because it did.

If you want real control, drop the illusion of control; let life have you. It does anyway. You’re just telling yourself the story of how it doesn’t.

The miracle of love comes to you in the presence of the uninterpreted moment. If you are mentally somewhere else, you miss real life.

Discomfort is the call to set yourself free.

Until you can love what is – everything, including the apparent violence and craziness – you’re separate from the world, and you’ll see it as dangerous and frightening.

When we question our thoughts, we see that the craziness was never in the world, but in us.

It’s not easy to find your own way when you believe that you need love, approval, appreciation, or anything from your family. It’s particularly hard when you want them to see things your way.

It’s not possible to have a problem without believing a prior thought. To notice this simple truth is the beginning of peace.

Nothing comes ahead of its time, and nothing ever happened that didn’t need to happen.

Until the mind is open, the heart stays closed. The open mind is the key to the open heart.
