“It’s no easy matter to accept that, ultimately, this journey of life is only ours to call our own. We fear we’ll feel isolated and lonely if we really claim our uniqueness. This is because, to the degree we are strangers to ourselves, we feel ill-equipped to nourish our own self. Little do we realize that it’s only through the experience of our unique path that we can experience both personal fulfillment and oneness with all beings.”

“your duty as a parent is to mirror your children’s inherent wholeness, out of which they will manifest who they are becoming. By mirroring their wholeness, you help them realize that who they are here and now is already their greatest achievement.”

“In fact, when we examine anxiety closely, it’s really a passive state—a distractor that allows us to fill our head with busy thoughts that appear to be active responses to our situation but in reality are powerless. Though we seek to impose control through the stance we take on an issue, by means of our thoughts, or by seeking to impose our will on others, we rarely take the action required to alter things.”

“None of your pain or brokenness, whatever particular form it may take, is who you really are. None of it ever touches your essential being. For this reason, whatever may have happened to you in the past doesn’t have to define you today.”
