Boredom or discontent is useful to me when I acknowledge it and see clearly my assumption that there's something else I would rather be doing. In this way boredom can act as an invitation to freedom by opening me to new options and thoughts. For example, if I can't change the activity, can I look at it more honestly?

When someone disagrees with me, I do not have to immediately start revising what I just said. People don't want me to always agree with them. They can sense this is phony. They can sense I am trying to control them: I am agreeing with them to make them like me. They feel I don't want to exist to like you. I DON'T exist to like you.

All my life, I have made it complicated, but it is so simple. I love when I love. And when I love, I am myself.

We become what we look at most.

Sometimes when I generalize, I am saying, 'Let's pretend I am God,' and of course the other person argues that point endlessly. But I notice that if the other person takes a stand for himself and states his thoughts as his thoughts, I pay more attention to what he is saying and look deeper in myself.

When we persist in looking for and finding what there is to value within our self, we discover a pure and loving being.

Don't strive for love, be it.

Unless I accept my faults, I will most certainly doubt my virtues.

Life is also a mixture of unsolved problems, ambiguous victories and vague defeats-with very few moments of clear peace.

Next time I will ... From now on I will ... - What makes me think I am wiser today than I will be tomorrow?

I'd rather be happy than right.
