The greatest tragedy of our lives is not that freedom is not possible, but that we pass our years trapped in the same patterns…
We are caught in a trance of unworthiness, of not being enough, and because of that trance we turn against ourselves and others.
When we begin to trust the goodness in ourselves, we begin to relax. We begin to open.
From that openness, a natural kindness begins to emerge – an expression of our true nature
Tara Brach, Radical Acceptance

The way to have the life we want is to receive more deeply the life we have.
Sometimes we keep our own life at arm’s length, thinking we’ll wait until circumstances improve before giving it all we’ve got.
But life is just a reflection of consciousness, so it’s never going to give any more to us than we give to it.
Don’t wait for a perfect life; breathe in the life that’s already perfect.
Marianne Williamson
Presence is when you’re no longer waiting for the next moment,
believing that the next moment will be more fulfilling than this one.
Eckhart Tolle,
I perceive that whilst everything around me is ever changing, ever dying,
there is underlying all that change a living power that is changeless,
that holds all together, that creates,dissolves and recreates…
for I can see that in the midst of death, life persists,in the midst of untruth, truth persists,
in the midst of darkness, light persists.
Mahatma Gandhi
We have natural wakefulness, but we also have a lot of confusion.
The point is that the confusion is temporary and the basic nature is fundamental.
Gaylon Ferguson, Natural Wakefulness
The stream of thinking has enormous momentum
that can easily drag you along with it.
Every thought pretends that it matters so much.
