I can't love you as you have been or will be. I can only love you as you are.

Life is simple. Everything happens for you, not to you. Everything happens at exactly the right moment, neither too soon nor too late. You don't have to like it... it's just easier if you do.

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

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

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

Peace doesn't require two people; it requires only one. It has to be you. The problem begins and ends there.

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

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

If you want real control, drop the illusion of control; let life have you. It does anyway. You’re just telling yourself the story of how it doesn’t.

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

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

And we ask ourselves, if there is a God, how can this happen? Better to ask, if there is a God... must it be sane?

Doing things God’s way is always a matter of the heart.

Failures or successes are not as important as the willingness to risk.

Doubt isn't original.

If I'm going to fail, I want to fail trying.

A garden requires patient labor and attention. Plants do not grow merely to satisfy ambitions or to fulfill good intentions. They thrive because someone expended effort on them.

The least practical of us have some petty thrift dear to our hearts, some one direction in which we love to scrimp.

I believe in God. I don't fear man, I fear God.

I got into music via the competitions; the first time I ever performed was in a kind of rap battle, competing for money.

It's a disagreeable thing to be whipped.
