Changing your mind can move you into another dimension. Passages materialize exposing a hidden world that was there all along.
They say just give up; that the world cannot be changed. Just live your life the best you can. Bullshit!
They say the world has always struggled with injustice and always will. But change is more possible than ever before.
Are you so dead inside you don't feel the daily anguish, terror and deathly suffering of millions? What happened to you? You've changed.
If you are unhappy with your life and the state of the world, the best place to start changing things is within yourself.
Even non-change is imperceivable change, because inaction will slowly change you from what you could have been, to what you never will be.
Who you are is shaping your so-called reality. When you change — the world changes with you.
We do not have control over what happens to us in life, but we do have control over how we chose to respond.
When we choose to engage reality as the best each moment can be, we are shaping more positive experiences for others.
They say our suffering is an inevitable part of the human condition; just accept it. But the greatest human skill is that of a choice maker.
America is like a roomy cage; just enough choice-space where the animal doesn't go wild and feels free.
You can choose better relationships, better jobs, better places to live, better uses of your time and better ways of treating yourself.
Everything you say to someone else is for your clarity, not theirs — you are presenting yourself, to yourself, for yourself at every moment.
Has every line inside of you been crossed? Is there anything left unviolated? Are you so comfortable with your imprisonment you feel free?
You have to do some thinking and know who you are, and then you have to resist compromising your truth for the comfort of others.
You cannot save people from themselves. All you can do is stand firmly in your hopes for them, with compassion.
The secret to unseating great power, is not to move the other direction, but to compete directly against their goals.
Everything in life will attack you if it senses your fear; animals, people — but faithful confidence wards off all manner of evil.
Sometimes it is best to stand back from conflict and allow other elements in someone's life to do the hard work for you.
People who have had little self-reflection live life in a huge reality blind-spot.
We are all students of the world; frail embodied consciousnesses struggling to understand, and be a meaningful part of this great, mysterious gift of life.
