Quotes
Everything that occurs not only usable and workable but is actually the path itself. We can use everything that happens to us as the means for waking up. We can use everything that occurs ---whether it's our conflicting emotions and thoughts or our seemingly outer situation ---to show us where we are asleep and how we can wake up completely, utterly, without reservations.
When Things Fall Apart by Pema Chodron
It's like inviting what scares us to introduce itself and hang around for a while... start by working with the monsters in our mind...
Pema Chodron
When we stop blaming long enough to give ourselves an open space in which to feel our soft spot, it's as if we're reaching down to touch a large wood that lies right underneath the protective shell that blaming builds.
Pema Chodron
Approach what you find repulsive, help the ones you think you cannot help, and go to places that scare you.
Chodron, quoting a Tibetan yogini Machig Labdron in When Things Fall Apart
Trials are but lessons that you failed to learn presented once again, so where you made a faulty choice before you now can make a better one, and thus escape all pain that what you chose before has brought to you.
ACIM
If we look to see if we are being loved, for that instant, it is impossible to love. Yet it is only by loving that we can feel and experience being loved. Love is not a matter of compromise and reciprocity. It is wholly one sided, inclusive, and complete.
ACIM
Whoever you love, decide one important thing: that you will not hurt that person through your mind, action, or speech.
The Art of Joyful Living by Swami Rama
Things are meant for you to use, but they are not yours, so don't allow yourself to become attached to them. Things will always disappoint you.
The Art of Joyful Living by Swami Rama
And when you are not honest, you create a conflict within yourself. You form a bad habit; you become weak and full of fear; you make yourself insecure.
The Art of Joyful Living by Swami Rama
It is important that you recognize that your entire worldview is based on how much respect you have for yourself.
Power of Intention by Wayne Dyer
If a friendship or partnership requires the submission of your highter original nature and dignity, it's simply wrong.
Wayne Dyer
... you can't hurt another person without hurting yourself, nor can you help another person without helping yourself.
Wayne Dyer
when you have a choice to be right or kind, pick kind...
Wayne Dyer
When we think stressfully, we create reactions in the body, valuable messages or signals requesting our attention.
Wayne Dyer
You must learn to accept responsibility for the circumstances of your life without any accompanying guilt.
Wayne Dyer
... if you're motivated to be of service to others while being authentically detached from the outcome, you'll feel on purpose, regardless of how much abundance flows back to you.
Wayne Dyer
If you think of the hardest thing for you to do and how much you resist it, then you're looking at your greatest lesson at the moment.
You Can Heal Your Life by Louise Hay
Always preach the gospel and when necessary use words.
St Francis of Assisi
... a totally uncredentialed and minimally trained lay therapist who exercises a great capacity to love will achieve psychotherapeutic results that equal those of the very best psychiatrists.
The Road Less Traveled by M. Scott Peck, M.D.
"Every adversity, every failure, every heartache carries with it the seed of an equal or greater benefit."
Napoleon Hill, author of Think & Grow Rich
