“The only time we suffer is when we believe a thought that argues with what is. When the mind is perfectly clear, what is is what we want.”

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.

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

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.

When you discover that all happiness is inside you, the wanting and needing are over, and life gets very exciting.

What we’re seeing out there is the projection of where we’re at-the projection of the clingings of our minds.

It has been said, ‘time heals all wounds.’ I do not agree. The wounds remain. In time, the mind, protecting its sanity, covers them with scar tissue and the pain lessens. But it is never gone.

Sedentary people are apt to have sluggish minds. A sluggish mind is apt to be reflected in flabbiness of body and in a dullness of expression that invites no interest and gets none.

If my mind can conceive it, My heart can believe it, I know I can achieve it!

My schedule is very busy, but when I get time to sit and think about all the great things that have happened to me, it’s just mind-blowing.

A strong body makes the mind strong, I advise the gun. While this gives moderate exercise to the body, it gives boldness, enterprise, and independence to the mind.

One must learn to forgive and not to hold a hostile, bitter attitude of mind, which offends those about us and prevents us from enjoying ourselves; one must recognize human shortcomings and adjust himself to them rather than to be constantly finding fault with them.

We are all affecting the world every moment, whether we mean to or not. Our actions and states of mind matter, because we are so deeply interconnected with one another.
