I try to make sure I have a helpful perspective so when emotional pain comes up, it doesn't get out of hand.

I try not to think in terms of good and bad but more in terms of helpful or unhelpful in regards to specific moral codes and goals.

I am still learning and experiencing things and feel like I cannot state a truth. So I guess one truth I know for sure is that I cannot state one. A paradox.

What is truth? I think stating a truth could be dangerous, because we are locking something in and therefore making it harder for ourselves to change beyond that certain thought or concept.

Knowing that a paradox is required for life as we know it to exist allows me to give up trying constantly to understand it and instead just feel it and enjoy it.

Sometimes we can't help the way we feel, but we can mostly choose how we respond to it.

It's difficult to change, because I have to admit that I have been previously living in a less compassionate and loving way. Sometimes we just want to be right instead of fully conscious.

For me, it's the slow release of my ego and certain belief systems that I identify with that give me comfort and an identity, and it's scary to let go of that.

Passion overcomes obstacles.

Why then should witless man so much misweeneThat nothing is but that which he hath seene?

One thing is needful and that is converting your time into fulfilling your purpose on the earth.

If the past is not to bind us, where can duty lie? We should have no law but the inclination of the moment.

A lawyer is never entirely comfortable with a friendly divorce, anymore than a good mortician wants to finish his job and then have the patient sit up on the table.

To get people emotionally involved in something intellectual and political is important.

I prefer to make a mistake because I am too kind than to perform miracles without any kindness.

The saints have always been the source and origin of renewal in the most difficult moments in the Church's history.

I do have to pick my priorities. Nobody can do everything.

Now Everybody has some secret goals in life...Sometimes you can get what you want and what you need at the sames time.
