1) Fear is a conditioned response, a life-draining habit that can easily consume your energy, creativity and spirit if you are not careful. When fear rears its ugly head, beat it down quickly. The best way to do that is to do the thing you fear. Fast.
2) Why postpone your greatness? There will never be a perfect time to live your dreams and step into the poetic possibilities your life was meant to be. So why not take the leap today?
3) Personal transformation is not a race. Actually, sometimes the harder you try to change, the longer it takes. So many people treat self-discovery like an extreme sport- rushing to get all their healing at a frenetic pace. They read book after book. They visit guide after guide and attend seminar after seminar. They want to know the answers to the big questions they are struggling with. But someone who cannot sit in the mystery of their lives and enjoy the process of personal growth is a person standing in fear.
4) Most people believe that it takes months and years to transform their lives. Actually, you can literally change your life in an instant by making a single decision never to go back to the way you have been living- no matter what. What takes months, years and sometimes decades is the maintenance required to live by that decision.
5) Happiness does not arrive when you achieve certain things. It comes when you think certain thoughts and feel certain feelings. Happiness is nothing more than a state of mind that you create by the way that you process and interpret the events of your life.
6) The past is a grave and it makes no sense to spend your life living in a grave. Every ending represents a new beginning. Or to put in another way, you cannot move forward in life if you're stuck looking in the rearview mirror.
7) On our deathbeds, none of us wishes we had more money in the bank or a bigger car sitting in the driveway. Instead, as we take our last few breaths, we wish that we had lived a life that was courageous, authentic and remarkably loving.
8) There's no doubt that, as human beings, we cannot control all that happens to us- that's the fate. Life runs along according to its own course. But what we do have enormous control over is the way we respond to what life sends our way. So that's the partnership: do your best- the very best that you know how to do in every dimension of your life- and then let life do the rest. It's really a delicate balance between making it happen and letting it happen.
9) There are many paths to the mountain top of peace.
10) One of the most enduring of all the ancient laws of humanity is that we see the world not as it is, but as we are. By improving, refining and defining who we are, we see the world from the highest, clearest perspective. By mastering ourselves, we see the world and all its limitless opportunities and potential from the top of the mountain rather than from the bottom.
