The fatal mistake is waiting for life's circumstances to be right before we begin. Simply begin with your heart, look deeply into it and trust what you feel. Practice knowing and you will know.

True humor is fun - it does not put down, kid, or mock. It makes people feel wonderful, not separate, different, and cut off. True humor has beneath it the understanding that we are all in this together.

Image
Stands must be taken. If I am to respect myself I have to search myself for what I believe is right and take a stand on what I find. Otherwise, I have not gathered together what I have been given I have not embraced what I have learned I lack my own conviction.

Almost any difficulty will move in the face of honesty. When I am honest I never feel stupid. And when I am honest I am automatically humble.

What an absurd amount of energy I have been wasting all my life trying to find out how things 'really are', when all the time they weren't.

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

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?

One element of maturity is the realization that we don't get away with anything. Any advantage gained or convenience taken, any private procrastination or insincerity, no matter how subtle or quick in passing, is paid for.

It seems that the truth is needed today is always a lie by tomorrow.

When we persist in looking for and finding what there is to value within our self, we discover a pure and loving being.
Hugh Prather
Image
We feel understood by people who like us misunderstood by people who don't -- and those feelings are probably realistic.

An argument is always about what has been made more important than the relationship.

We are all saying the same thing in different words.

There is nothing more painful than walking around with bitterness in your heart.

Boredom is useful to me when I notice it and think: Oh I'm bored there must be something else I want to be doing... boredom acts as an initiator of originality by pushing me into new activities or new thoughts.

I'd rather be happy than right.

Today I don't want to live for, I want to live.

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.
