As any good Buddhist will tell you, the only way to find permanent joy is by embracing the fact that nothing is permanent.

Where your attention goes, your life goes.

The way to find your own North Star is not to think or feel your way forward but to dissolve the thoughts and feeling that make you miserable. You don't have to learn your destiny--you already know it you just have to unlearn the thoughts that blind you to what you know.

Most people go through their whole lives, John went on, and never have one miracle happen to them. You've had dozens and dozens, and you still want more! It's like God gives you a brownie, I mean a really good brownie, but you can't be content with it. You want the whole pan of brownies. Nobody gets that.

Criticism is an alluring substitute for creation, because tearing things down, unlike building them up, really is as easy as falling off a stump. It's blissfully simple to strike a savvy, sophisticated pose by attacking someone else's creations, but the old adage is right: Any fool can burn down a barn. Building one is something else again.

Conflict in close relationships is not only inevitable, it's essential. Intimacy connects people who are inevitably different.

Play until it's time to rest, then rest until it's time to play.

If you think there is no action that you can perform in your current circumstances that will increase the supply of love in the world, you are believing a lie. At the very least, you always have the option to offer yourself kindness and understanding. That alone can increase the supply of love in the world.

Most of our stress and suffering come not from events, but from our thoughts. Reframe from negative thoughts, and stress subsides.

If you're miserable, make a choice. If you're still miserable, you can choose again.

Don’t worry that you’ve wasted time. Each moment -- no matter how frozen or confused -- was a useful and necessary lesson.
Martha Beck
Image
External circumstances do not create feeling states. Feeling states create external circumstances.

Imagine the choices you'd make if you had no fear-of falling, of losing, of being alone, of disapproval.
