“This is the first step in using the truth as a scalpel: You find that the injustice that created a wound is no longer true, right now, in this moment.

By using the truth, you open the wound and see the injustice from a new perspective.”

“During your whole life you practiced every moment to become what you believe you are right now. You practiced until it became automatic. And when you start practicing something new, when you change what you believe you are, your whole life is going to change. If you practice being impeccable with your word, if you don’t take anything personally, if you don’t make assumptions, you are going to break thousands of agreements that keep you trapped in the dream of hell. Very soon, what you agree to believe will become the choice of your authentic self, not the choice of the image of yourself that you thought you were.”
