Just as it's true of all tempests in nature, psychological storms must pass too; but those who run from their troubles run with them, which is why — wherever they go — a storm awaits their arrival.
The only world in which "defeat" exists as a reality is the one darkened by the false idea that what may have happened to us a moment ago is the same as what's possible for us to achieve now.
The next time that a piece of your life breaks off and falls away, try to remember that what is Real cannot be lost, and then give thanks that what is false must always prove itself so.
Getting tense and all stressed out for fear you won't finish some task "on time" makes sense only to a mind that believes squeezing the bud of a flower will make it bloom faster!
Nothing makes a worse impression on others than to be seen trying to make one.
No relationship in life can be any more successful than what we are willing to learn about ourselves through it. The moment we turn our back on what others give us to see about ourselves, we not only walk away from what we need to see, but also from the better person we could be...were we only willing to learn the lesson at hand.
Fearlessness comes with the birth of this new understanding: The only reason life changes as it does is to reveal the secret Goodness underlying those same changes.
Whenever we are not present and properly attentive to ourselves, we may be sure the false self is busy attending to something we'll be paying for in the days ahead.
If each moment is the secret field of all possibilities, then our greatest potential for happiness is realized in the field itself, and not within any one particular flower that grows there.
The great ones in life are not those who are handed silver spoons. Their excellence comes from digging into the raw ore of their own character, and through hard work, persistence, and faith turning whatever they touch into gold.
