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

Love is worth living. Why do you trade life for less?

Your nature is truth, and when you oppose it, you don’t feel like yourself. Stress never feels as natural as peace does.

Everyone has equal wisdom. It is absolutely equally distributed. No one is wiser than anyone else.

Life is simple. Everything happens for you, not to you. Everything happens at exactly the right moment, neither too soon nor too late. You don’t have to like it. It’s just easier if you do.

Stress is an alarm clock that lets you know you’re attached to something not true for you.

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.

We cannot see what we don’t believe.

Every moment a gift: are you unwrapping yours now, and now, and now?

I came to see that there was nothing to forgive, that I was the one who caused my own problems.

Without an uninvestigated story, there’s only the perfection of life appearing as itself. You can always go inside and find the beauty that’s revealed after the pain and fear are understood.

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.
