“But the hero lets the future take care of itself, because he knows the future never actually arrives. In reality, all there ever is, is one moment moving naturally and gracefully into the next, with or without the mind’s ceaseless thoughts.”

“that the love which He asked was in my will and not meant to be felt as emotion. No. Not at all. He was asking that I act with love; that I do unto others; and that I should do it unto those who repelled me, I believe, was a greater act of love than any other.”

“Language such as “good” and “bad” and “I like” and “I don’t like” divides the world into what you want and don’t want. Then when life shows up in a way you don’t like, you suffer. By wanting life to look a certain way, you cause your own suffering. The hero has seen how such dualities and desires create suffering and how suffering wouldn’t exist without them.”

“The hero noticed that if he let love, excitement, and joy lead him, he would be happy and find his way to greater love, peace, and happiness. He discovered that love is both the path and the reward of following the path.”

“wasn’t kind, life didn’t work. The hero noticed that whenever he gave something or someone his full attention, love flowed, and then he was happy and others were happy. The hero noticed that love is receptive and patient, and when he was receptive and patient, others loved him and came to his aid. The hero noticed that when he did what he loved doing, he was happy and he became better at it easily. The hero noticed that when he was loving and happy, others were attracted to him and wanted to be around him and be good to him. The hero noticed that when he behaved lovingly, he was happy, and when he didn’t behave lovingly, he wasn’t happy. The hero noticed that when he forgave others, he stopped suffering and was able to move on and love again. The hero also noticed that when he forgave himself, he was able to move on and love himself again. The hero noticed that giving love felt better than receiving it. The hero noticed that he could choose to love anyone or anything, and then love would flow from him. He learned there was a fountain of love available within himself, which never went dry. And so he realized that feeling loving and therefore feeling happy was always in his power.”
