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

The only way I can be angry at you is when I have thought, said, or done something that is unkind in my own opinion.

Yield to temptation. It may not pass your way again.

No temptation can ever be measured by the value of its object.

On this narrow planet, we have only the choice between two unknown worlds. One of them tempts us – ah! what a dream, to live in that! – the other stifles us at the first breath.

The force of the blow depends on the resistance. It is sometimes better not to struggle against temptation. Either fly or yield at once.

But it doesn’t say anywhere in that passage that the people didn’t still struggle with temptation or that they never fell prey to that sin again whether it was the issue of homosexuality or any of the other things that are listed there.

A reparative therapist called me and said if you’ll come into therapy with me I can cure you of your temptations and attractions 100 percent.

You will witness all kinds of scenes and actors, all kinds of temptations and stories, everything imaginable.

Where there is no temptation, there is no virtue.
