Relationship
"When I'm triggered, I think, "This will last forever" or "What if this lasts forever?" I get thoughts about how I should give up, run away, hide, protect myself. These thoughts, I cannot change. What I can change is how I respond to them. Will I unconditionally believe these ideas, or will I accept them as side effects of the temporary experience of pain? Will I act on each thought that arises in the burning fire, or will I hold myself gently and say, "It'll be okay. I know it hurts. I love you"? My power lies in these choices."
Mindfulness
"The next stage of evolution is the evolution of perception, the evolution of the mind."
Evolution
"Most things that are true are simple. To lose weight, eat less than you burn. To reduce stress, find a job you love. To resolve conflict, be patient and peaceful. These are very, very simple in that they are complete concepts that take no more than a sentence to say. They are not, however, easy, because they must be applied consistently."
Wisdom
"Those who love, truly love, can be coerced into nothing."
Freedom
"The mind, just like the body, becomes exactly what it is fed. While the body is nourished by food, the mind is nourished by thoughts."

"We deny the same love to others that we deny ourselves. We distort others in the same way we distort ourselves."
