“It doesn´t come later. Everything you´re supposed to do is here right now.”

The world is as you perceive it to be. For me, clarity is a word for beauty. It’s what I am. And when I’m clear, I see only beauty. Nothing else is possible.

My life is a contribution.

Any story that you tell about yourself causes suffering. There is no authentic story.

It is easy to be swept away by some overwhelming feeling, so it’s helpful to remember that any stressful feeling is like a compassionate alarm clock that says, “You’re caught in the dream.”

The best way of leading people is to let them find their own way.

No one has ever been able to control his thinking, although people may tell the story of how they have. I don’t let go of my thoughts-I meet them with understanding. Then they let go of me.

Everyone in your life is a figment of your imagination–even you.

The only thing you fear is the unreality that you yourself have invented.

When your mind opens, the whole world falls into place.

Reality doesn’t wait for your opinion, vote, or permission, sweetheart. It just keeps being what it is and doing what it does.

Realizing that people should lie when they do makes me a little more open-minded, a little more tolerant, when my child or my partner lies.

A thought is harmless unless we believe it.

In my experience, we don’t make thoughts appear, they just appear. One day, I noticed that their appearance just wasn’t personal. Noticing that really makes it simpler to inquire.

We say to others only what we need to hear.

I didn’t fight or shame my thoughts, I questioned them, and they stopped shaming me.

When a thought hurts, that’s the signal that it isn’t true.
