“Thoughts are just what is. They appear. They’re innocent. They’re not personal.”

If you don’t like your world, question your thoughts about it.

Do you want to meet the love of your life? Look in the mirror.

I love the world, because I love the mind that created the world.

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

Whenever you think that your needs are not being met, you’re telling the story of a future.

Bottom line is, if someone says something about me and it upsets me, it’s true.

I came to see that the world is always as it should be, whether I opposed it or not.

To me, health is a balanced mind. A balanced mind knows how to get enough rest, how to eat properly, how to exercise. I have come out as just a balanced human being, and I don’t know anything finer than that.

When we stop opposing reality, action becomes simple, fluid, kind, and fearless.

It’s not what happens in life that bothers us. It’s what we’re believing about it that bothers us.

That’s what every uncomfortable feeling is for-that’s what pain is for, what money is for, what everything in the world is for: your self-realization.

The only difference between heaven and hell is believing a thought.

You move totally away from reality when you believe that there is a legitimate reason to suffer”.

So there’s only transcendence in the moment. Nobody can be transcended forever. That’s why I say, “Who cares if you’re enlightened forever?”

Life just happens. It’s what you’re believing about life that makes you suffer.

That’s the purpose of stress. It’s a friend. It’s an alarm clock, built in to let you know that it’s time to do The Work.
