Awareness is learning to keep yourself company

Treat yourself as if you already are enough. Walk as if you are enough. Eat as if you are enough. See, look, listen as if you are enough. Because it's true.

It's never been true, not anywhere at anytime, that the value of a soul, of a human spirit, is dependent on a number on a scale.

Most of us spend our lives protecting ourselves from losses that have already happened.

What you pay attention to grows. Pay attention to your loveliness, your magnificent self. Begin now.

Change happens when you understand what you want to change so deeply that there is no reason to do anything but act in your own best interest.

If you pay attention to when you are hungry, what your body wants, what you are eating, when you've had enough, you end the obsession because obsession and awareness cannot coexist.

We eat the way we eat because we are afraid to feel what we feel.

Awareness is learning to keep yourself company. And then learn to be more compassionate company, as if you were somebody you are fond of and wish to encourage.

If you think your job is to fix what is broken, you keep finding more broken places to mend.

The purpose of a spiritual path or religion is to provide a precise and believable way into what seems unbelievable.

I want to see life through a spiritual perspective, so I can make choices that influence eternity.

Don’t think so. We all make our choices, and those choices have consequences.

I chose life over death for myself and my friends... I believe it is in our nature to explore, to reach out into the unknown. The only true failure would be not to explore at all.

Good workmen are seldom rich.

I don't know that I would need to be famous as a Middle East policy expert to see that unilateral imperialism is bad policy.

I want to be free and free indeed and live and live abundant!

Everyday life inspires me, the situations that we all find ourselves in at one time or another.

I appeal to women not to let themselves become corrupted by male power. Emancipation is something more than a 'ticket' to serve in the army.

Each generation has to reinvent spirituality.
