Uncertainty is unwanted because it feels so unpleasant each time it appears in our lives. But, can we be awake enough to see its positively bright side? For as surely as darkness must come before the break of a new day, so it's true: before the new light of higher understanding can have its gentle dawn in us -- we must see that we have come to the end of what we know.

You cannot resist any unwanted situation -- reject, or otherwise struggle with it -- and understand yourself at the same time!...

Many times the very thing we want from others is the very thing that we ourselves either lack at the moment or otherwise somehow are withholding from them.

Part 1: The four conditions of happiness are simple: clear eyes, a quiet mind, a sense of beauty, and an open heart. Unhappiness is the dark effect of refusing to cultivate these essential elements for having imagined, by a false light, a contentment that does not exist. Part 2: The real limitation in life is a creation of the illusion that outside of us exists something that -- if...

Until the peace and pleasure found within yourself is equal to or greater than any consolation found outside of yourself, then your power to be patient, loving, and profitable in every moment is, at best, conditional.

No one who feels himself as being apart from life can ever know the peace of real Life... for his is always the imagined fear that life will take from him what little measure of peace he has temporarily pieced together for himself.
