We do not mature through age. We mature in awareness.

Pay close attention to the particular thoughts you use to deprive yourself of happiness.

If I had a prayer, it would be this: "God, spare me from the desire for love, approval, or appreciation. Amen."

When you think that someone or something other than yourself needs to change, you're mentally out of your business.

Bottom line is, if someone says something about me and it upsets me, it's true.

It's not what happens in life that bothers us. It's what we're believing about it that bothers us.

Spare yourself from seeking love, approval, or appreciation-from anyone. And watch what happens in reality, just for fun.

Until you can see everything in the world as your friend, your work is not done.

The whole world is simply my story, projected back to me on the screen of my own perception. All of it.

It's not your job to like me - it's mine

Do you want to meet the love of your life? Look in the mirror.

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

It's not the problem that causes our suffering; it's our thinking about the problem.

Fear has only two causes: the thought of losing what you have or the thought of not getting what you want.

Your suffering is never caused by the person you're blaming.

Our job is unconditional love. The job of everyone else in our life is to push our buttons.

What you’re believing in the moment creates your suffering or your happiness.

The thing you can count on in life is that Tennessee will always be scorching hot in August.

But we cannot unbraid the story of another person’s life and take out all the parts that don’t suit our purposes and put forth only the ones that do.
