“Nobody abuses us more than we abuse ourselves.”

If you hold a beautiful flower in your hand, you can write a whole book about it. However, you are still just you perceiving and experiencing it from your own point of view.

We are born perfect, and we will die perfect. The problem is that we create that character in our story that we pretend to be, or that we want to be, and we cannot hide that from ourselves. We know that we are pretending to be what we are not in the name of perfection.

When we believe in lies, we cannot see the truth, so we make thousands of assumptions and we take them as truth. One of the biggest assumptions we make is that the lies we believe are the truth!

The truth is silent. The truth doesn’t come with words. It’s something that I just know; it’s something that I can feel without words, and it’s called silent knowledge.

If you create your life with love, your dream becomes a masterpiece of art.

Respect is one of the greatest expressions of love. If other people try to write your story, it means they don’t respect you. They consider that you’re not a good artist who can write your own story, even though you were born to write your own story.

You deliver a message every time you speak. Do you deliver the truth, or do you deliver lies? When the message you deliver comes from truth and love, you are happier.

Whatever life takes away from you, let it go.

What has happened to the adult human?

I don’t like calling myself a “feminist” only because I don’t think I’ve done anything active enough to call myself one. It’d be like calling myself a civil rights activist just because I’m not racist.

We learn to be right and to make everyone else wrong. The need to be right is the result of trying to protects the image we want to project to the outside. We have to impose our way of thinking, not just onto other humans, but even upon ourselves.

You are alive, so take your life and enjoy it. You were born with the right to be happy, to love, and to share your love. Just to be-to take a risk and enjoy your life-is all that matters.

Under any circumstance, simply do your best, and you will avoid self-judgment, self-abuse and regret.

Life is like dancing…changing all the time.

Your opinion is nothing but your point of view.

With knowledge, our creation can go in any direction – from the worst kind of drama, to the most beautiful dream. Then the best way to express our creativity is with love and awareness of what we really are.

The thing you set your mind on is the thing you ultimately become.

Next to eating good dinners, a healthy man with a benevolent turn of mind, must like, I think, to read about them.

I swear to keep the dead upon my mind, / Disdain for all time to be overglad.

There are a lot of different ways to talk about mindfulness, but what it really means is awareness.

The truth is that creative activity is one that involves the entire self – our emotions, our levels of energy, our characters, and our minds.

Mindfulness is about love and loving life. When you cultivate this love, it gives you clarity and compassion for life, and your actions happen in accordance with that.

In a basic way, acceptance is seeing clearly what’s happening and holding it with kindness. This is a radical antidote to the suffering of judging mind.

The determination in your heroic effort Will permeate your mind and heart Even after your success or failure Is long forgotten.
