If your washing machine stops working and you're addicted to appliances that work, you'll get upset and you will suffer. If you prefer that your appliances work well, then when your washing machine breaks down you won't compound the problem by superimposing your uncomfortable emotions on the situation.
Ken Keyes Jr.
I have everything I need to enjoy my here and now - unless I am letting my consciousness be dominated by demands and expectations based on the dead past or the imagined future.

Ken Keyes Jr.
Upgrade your addictions to the status of preferences. Here's the distinction between an addiction and a preference.
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.
Ken Keyes Jr.
View others as unfolding beings in their journey toward higher consciousness.
Ken Keyes Jr.
No one that ever lived has ever had enough power, prestige, or knowledge to overcome the basic condition of all life - you win some and you lose some.
Ken Keyes Jr.
Life goes by rapidly. Don't delay. Don't put it off. Don't wait until you have some spare time. Don't wait until the time's 'right'.
Ken Keyes Jr.
Even when we get what we addictively want, our wanting to keep things that way automatically creates a new addiction.
Ken Keyes Jr.
We always have enough to be happy if we are enjoying what we do have.
Ken Keyes Jr.
Serenity is the end - and serenity is also the means - by which you live effectively.
