“In the moment when we are able to smile, to look at ourselves with compassion, our world begins to change.”

Breathing in, I calm body and mind. Breathing out, I smile. Dwelling in the present moment I know this is the only moment.

Most of your suffering comes from the lack of understanding of yourself and others.

Many people think excitement is happiness. But when you are excited you are not peaceful. True happiness is based on peace.

Deep listening is the kind of listening that can help relieve the suffering of another person.

People have a hard time letting go of their suffering. Out of a fear of the unknown, they prefer suffering that is familiar.

In true love, you attain freedom.

The moment you understand the importance of loving yourself, you will stop hurting others.

As we cultivate peace and happiness in ourselves, we also nourish peace and happiness in those we love.

In true love, there is no pride.

What you are looking for is already in you. You already are everything you are seeking.

You have an appointment with life, an appointment that is in the here and now.

To think in terms of either pessimism or optimism oversimplifies the truth. The problem is to see reality as it is.

The quality of our life depends on the quality of the seeds that lie deep in our consciousness.

Today is the most important day of our lives.

Fear keeps us focused on the past or worried about the future.

As I open my eyes and realizing I changed. Not the same deranged child stuck up in the game.

Right now, I do not like kids at all. I mean, I love my fans and everything, but when you have kids following you around all day, it’s like, ‘Ugh, kids!’ Maybe that will change when I get older.

A moment with Jesus changed everything.

For me especially, I travel a lot, and with the weather change and everything, my skin gets dehydrated very fast.

Empower us women and we will change this whole entire world.

Change is a natural form of progression.

If people don’t like me for whatever I do, for being me, then that’s too bad. I don’t want to change to be something that I’m not for other people to like me.

I’m under no illusion that there are things about me that I’d like to change. I just accept who I am, and I’m proud of it.
