Ken Keyes Jr.
The outside conditions of your life do not make you feel either secure or insecure. One person may feel secure with practically no money at all, while another may feel insecure with a million dollars in the bank. Your feelings of security or insecurity are due to your emotional programming.
Ken Keyes Jr.
I take full responsibility here and now for everything I experience, for it is my own programming that creates my actions and also influences the reactions of people around me.
Ken Keyes Jr.
Acceptance doesn't mean that you've resigned yourself to live the rest of your life with a particular person, or in a particular situation. It just means that you won't cause yourself emotional discomfort because of the way things are in this moment.
Ken Keyes Jr.
Serenity is the end - and serenity is also the means - by which you live effectively.
Ken Keyes Jr.
People who postpone happiness are like children who try chasing rainbows in an effort to find the pot of gold at the rainbows end...Your life will never be fulfilled until you are happy here and now.
Ken Keyes Jr.
We are not the personalities that our egos are so valiantly defending. Our personalities are simply the result of our current programming.
