Pay Close Attention To The Particular Thoughts

The Ultimate And Dearest - And, Again, Only - Relationship We Have Is The Relationship We Have With Our Thoughts.

I've Heard People Say That They Cling To Their Painful Thoughts Because They're Afraid That Without Them They Wouldn't Be Activists For Peace. “if I Feel Peaceful,” They Say, “why Would I Bother Taking Action At All?” My Answer Is “because That's What Love Does.” To Think That We Need Sadness Or Outrage To Motivate Us To Do What's Right Is Insane. As If The Clearer And Happier You Get, The Less Kind You Become. As If When Someone Finds Freedom, She Just Sits Around All Day With Drool Running Down Her Chin. My Experience Is The Opposite. Love Is Action.

The Only And Dearest Relationship Is The Mind's Relationship With Itself.

We Are Never Really In Control. We Just Think We Are When Things Happen To Be Going Our Way.

An Uncomfortable Feeling Is Not An Enemy. It's A Gift That Says, "get Honest; Inquire." We Reach Out For Alcohol, Or Television, Or Credit Cards, So We Can Focus Out There And Not Have To Look At The Feeling. And That's As It Should Be, Because In Our Innocence We Haven't Known How. So Now What We Can Do Is Reach Out For A Paper And A Pencil, Write Thought Down, And Investigate.
