If we let go of things, our life is going to change. And the reality is that we are actually more afraid of change than we are of death.

The soul always knows what to do to heal itself. The challenge is to silence the mind

Just let go. Let go of how you thought your life should be, and embrace the life that is trying to work its way into your consciousness.

When you do not seek or need approval, you are at your most powerful.

Never blame another person for your personal choices - you are still the one who must live out the consequences of your choices.

You cannot change anything in your life with intention alone, which can become a watered-down, occasional hope that you'll get to tomorrow. Intention without action is useless.

There is no such thing as a simple act of compassion or an inconsequential act of service. Everything we do for another person has infinite consequences.

Having parents who were hard working, blue collar, and staunchly independent, neither political party's positioning really impressed me.

Without question, the material world and your everyday needs distract you from living meaningfully.
