“When you become a lover of what is, the war is over.”

You don’t experience anxiety unless you’re attached to a thought that isn’t true for you. It’s that simple.

No-one can disappoint you, only your thoughts about them can.

We suffer only until we realize that we can’t know anything.

Any stressful thought that you have about the planet, for example, shows you where you are stuck, where your energy is being exhausted in not fully meeting life as it is, without conditions.

Placing the blame or judgment on someone else leaves you powerless to change your experience; taking responsibility for your beliefs and judgments gives you the power to change them.

There is nothing that isn’t true if you believe it; and nothing is true, believe it or not.

Suffering over things that have happened to us is nothing more than an argument with the past.

When you think that someone or something other than yourself needs to change, you’re mentally out of your business.

I’m most inspired whenever I hear of even the smallest act of human kindness.

What would it be like to let go of wanting things to be other than they are?

Thinking that what you want equals what’s best for you is a dead end.

Pay close attention to the particular thoughts you use to deprive yourself of happiness.

I can find only three kinds of business in the Universe: mine, yours, and God’s.

If you think the cause of your problem is ‘out there,’ you’ll try to solve it from the outside. Take the shortcut: solve it from within.

Thought the mind can justify itself faster than the speed of light, it can be stopped through the act of writing.

You might believe that it’s only for their own good, but how does it feel when you try to manipulate the people you love? Are you teaching them that your love is conditional? Maybe through inquiry we can find another way.
