If you ask why we meditate, I would say it's so we can become more flexible and tolerant to the present moment.

Nothing ever goes away until it has taught us what we need to know.

Be kinder to yourself. And then let your kindness flood the world.

Being satisfied with what we already have is a magical golden key to being alive in a full, unrestricted, and inspired way.

So war and peace start in the human heart. Whether that heart is open or whether that heart closes has global implications.

It isn't what happens to us that causes us to suffer; it's what we say to ourselves about what happens.

All you need to know is that the future is wide open and you are about to create it by what you do.

To be fully alive, fully human, and completely awake is to be continually thrown out of the nest.

Feel the feelings and drop the story.

The truth you believe and cling to makes you unavailable to hear anything new.

All situations teach you, and often it's the tough ones that teach you best.

you only talk to yourself when you pray without believing and having faith in your prayers

It is eternity now. I am in the midst of it. It is about me in the sunshine

Whether you consider me a master filmmaker or not, I do it with my intuition and my vision, my experience as a storyteller.

I became more and more convinced that even nature could be understood as a relatively simple mathematical structure.

If somebody has a chance to put my food in their mouth, that tells the story.

There is a kind of mysticism to writing.

Pinot noir is the ultimate wine to have at the table. It's a white wine masquerading as red...[while] chardonnay is a red masquerading as a white.

I'll try and get through as much as my voice and nerves and knees will let me.

Look everywhere with your eyes; but with your soul never look at many things, but at one.

There can only be one Queen Bey.
