If you continue living as you presently are -- as an outer-oriented person -- you will be doomed to re-create your life the way it has always been.

You can't change the kind of person you are later. There is no later. It's always now or never. You can't be kind later. And you can't learn later. Choose to change now, and that moment will never come for you to worry about how to be better next time. Why? Because your conscious choice for real change in the present moment automatically cancels the need for a better you in a better future...

If we're fortunate, there comes a certain point when we just know that we can no longer afford to refuse what we know we see about ourselves.

Self-limiting thoughts or feelings have power over us only when we are tricked into believing that we need something we don't.

The truth is that letting go is very simple and, above all, natural; as natural for you and I as it is for a tree to shed the heavy, sun-ripened fruit that clings to its branches.

Once we awaken to see that each of our lives is an integral part of an eternal turning point, and that nothing changes in this great Life without changing everything within it, then we can let go of trying to change ourselves and simply take our natural place, participating in the power of the Life Awakened. This principle is critical to us if we want to understand how we find a life greater...
