Nothing ever goes away until it has taught us what we need to know.

Obstacles are our friends: they teach us where we're stuck.

One of the deepest habitual patterns that we have is to feel that now is not enough.

Feel the feelings and drop the story.

Deep down in the human spirit, there is a reservoir of courage. It is always available, always waiting to be discovered.

It isn't what happens to us that causes us to suffer; it's what we say to ourselves about what happens.

All you need to know is that the future is wide open and you are about to create it by what you do.

Let your curiosity be greater than your fear.

Be kinder to yourself. And then let your kindness flood the world.
