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

The nature of mind is that it loves everything once it loves itself, just as it opposes everything when it opposes itself.

Peace doesn’t require two people; it requires only one. It has to be you. The problem begins and ends there.

Questioning our stressful thoughts, we come to see they’re not true.

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

I love what I think, and I’m never tempted to believe it.

We’re all looking for love, in our confusion, until we find our way back to the realization that love is what we already are.

When you believe that your problem is caused by someone or something else, you become your own victim.

Happiness is the natural state for someone who knows that there’s nothing to know.

If people are living their lives for security and comfort and pleasure, then mind’s every waking moment will be plotting those things. That’s how it stays identified – as a body, as a you.

It’s quite an amazing experience to see the same life with and without the thought. We come to see how crazy a thought can make us when we believe it.

We may appear to be mean but we’re really only frightened.

Spare yourself from seeking love, approval, or appreciation-from anyone. And watch what happens in reality, just for fun.

I have had the privilege of losing everything.

God, as I use the word, is another name for what is. I always know God’s intention: It’s exactly what is in every moment.

I have never experienced a stressful feeling that wasn’t caused by attaching to an untrue thought. Behind every uncomfortable feeling, there’s a thought that isn’t true for us.

The mind’s job is to validate what it thinks.
