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

Since the past is unreal and the future is unreal, all your thoughts are about nothing.

I see the goodness and beauty in everyone, and everything is a gift given for me and for all of us. If you don’t love it, question your mind until you do.

To understand our own thinking is to understand all thinking.

Nothing terrible has ever happened except in our thinking. Reality is always good, even in situations that seem like nightmares. The story we tell is the only nightmare that we have lived.

Nothing you believe is true. To know this is freedom.

You’ve never reacted to someone else. You project meaning onto nothing. And you react to the meaning you’ve projected.

Here’s how a child listens: you tell him something, and he puts his own interpretation on what you said. That’s what he hears. No one has ever heard you.

The way to truly help someone is for me to not get immersed in their suffering.

Happiness is a clear mind. A clear and sane mind knows how to live, how to work, what emails to send, what phone calls to make, and what to do do to create what it wants without fear.

We don’t attach to things; we attach to our stories about them.

It only takes one clear person to have a good relationship.

Nothing belongs to me. Everything comes and goes. Serenity is an open door.

Your most intimate relationship is the one you have with your thoughts.

It’s not your job to like me – it’s mine.

There’s no way that a clear mind can live an unhappy life.

You don’t get to vote on what is. Have you noticed?
