“You can only lose something that you have, but you cannot lose something that you are.”

Man made God in his own image.

All problems are illusions of the mind.

Some changes look negative on the surface but you will soon realize that space is being created in your life for something new to emerge.

Realize deeply that the present moment is all you ever have.

Any action is often better than no action, especially if you have been stuck in an unhappy situation for a long time. If it is a mistake, at least you learn something, in which case it’s no longer a mistake. If you remain stuck, you learn nothing.

This, too, will pass.

Don’t Seek Happiness. If you seek it, you won’t find it, because seeking is the antithesis of happiness.

The more you are focused on time – past and future – the more you miss the Now, the most precious thing there is.

Living up to an image that you have of yourself or that other people have of you is inauthentic living.

Being must be felt. It can’t be thought.

Whatever the present moment contains, accept it as if you had chosen it.

All the things that truly matter, beauty, love, creativity, joy and inner peace arise from beyond the mind.

Pleasure is always derived from something outside you, whereas joy arises from within.

God is enough. That is the root of peace. When we start seeking something besides Him, we lose it.

If you chase two rabbits, you will lose them both.

The more you lose yourself in something bigger than yourself, the more energy you will have.

What would our world be like if we ceased to worry about ‘right’ and ‘wrong,’ or ‘good’ and ‘evil,’ and simply acted so as to maximize well-being, our own and that of others? Would we lose anything important?

The one perfectly divine thing, the one glimpse of God’s paradise given on earth, is to fight a losing battle – and not lose it.

Oh, let us lose our milk teeth and cut instead the strong teeth of hate and love.

He who goes about to reform the world must begin with himself, or he loses his labor.
