"Compassion does not have to be a face-to-face relationship. Forgiveness does not imply friendship. Understanding why someone has inflicted pain on us is how we set ourselves free of the past, not how we excuse someone's behaviour so they can continue to abuse us."

"Sorrow is an opportunity to appreciate happiness."

"We learn from pain that some of the things we thought were castles turn out to be prisons, and we desperately want out, but even though we built them, we can't find the door. Yet maybe if you ask God for help in knowing which direction to face, you'll have a moment of intuition. Maybe you'll see at least one next right step you can take."

"Your suffering needs to be respected. Don't try to ignore the hurt, because it is real. Just let the hurt soften you instead of hardening you. Let the hurt open you instead of closing you. Let the hurt send you looking for those who will accept you instead of hiding from those who reject you."

"Focusing your energy on the things you don't like about yourself is self-sabotage and defeating. When you re-direct all that energy into a more positive direction, you will feel the shift instantly to improve your self-esteem and attitude."

"Five truly effective prescriptions to remedy a bad day. (You can't overdose.)-Pray; discuss your troubles with God.-List your blessings. (The blue sky, soft cookies, warm socks, etc.)-Call your mom.-Visit an animal shelter and hug a lonely cat.-Visit a nursing home and hug a lonely grandparent."

"No one needs to hit rock bottom to change. And yet so many people do, only because most of us are unskilled in communicating with ourselves.Stress, depression, anxiety, insomnia, headaches, illness ... these are all symptoms of a bigger problem. You're trying to tell yourself something. Loudly.Listen now or listen later. There is no ignoring the call."

"Each person you admire is simply a reminder of your own latent excellence, your own unacknowledged beauty."

"It is not how many times we get lost, but how many times we seek the path, again and again, that determines our level of consciousness."

"When you slip up and let yourself back into old, toxic patterns of thinking, forgive yourself before you try to fix yourself."

"The most profound personal growth does not happen while reading a book or meditating on a mat. It happens in the throes of conflict-when you are angry, afraid, frustrated. It happens when you are doing the same old thing and you suddenly realize that you have a choice."

"No one's approval is enough to make up for a lack of self-love, which is really a lack of self-awareness.When we feel a desire to be loved, it isn't other people's love we need. It's our own relationship with love that we're longing for, our own awareness of being interconnected with others, our own sense of the magic of our own interwoven existence. To seek the fulfillment of this desire in others' approval is a losing battle. It will never be enough. No one can compliment you enough to supplement for the acceptance that you need from your own self, in each moment. Acceptance for your struggles and your talents. Acceptance for your humanity. Celebration of that humanity.Love is an inside job."

"While we tend to think of love as some faraway place, it is actually a place nearby that we have forgotten."
