Looking to any worried thought to bring an end to the anxiety it produces is like drinking a cup of hot sauce to temper the heat of having eaten a jalapeno pepper!...

Only in a world turned upside-down could someone actually believe that his daily dose of stress, anxiety, and despair somehow proves he is as special as he imagines himself to be.

Most of us don't understand the nature of time and our place within it, and so we know nothing of timelessness, save for those rare instances when we encounter transcendent beauty and are transported out of our usual train of thought in time, into the timeless.

The fruit on the tree of desire is always half bitter -- half sweet, because whatever we long to pick from that tree always comes with the anxiety that we may not be able to reach it.

There is no tension, anxiety, or dissatisfaction inherent in being watchful, while stress of every kind imaginable is inherent in the illusion that it's possible for you to be in more than one place at a time.

The real cause of any fear, anxiety, or dark emotion isn’t because of some unwanted condition that appears before our eyes -- it hides behind them...

The great illusion of humanity -- that drives all forms of desperation including fear, greed, anxiety, and despair -- is that we are somehow incomplete. We are not incomplete...

Falling into some form of stress or anxiety in the face of any unwanted situation is nothing more than our failure to realize the following truth: these moments are made for us...

It’s never Life’s lessons (themselves) that are painful: here’s the real reason why we continue to experience the fear, anger, or anxiety that always seems to attend the appearance of unwanted moments...

All forms of anxiety are created and sustained by the vain attempt to either acquire what we imagine will make us feel complete, or the equally vain attempt to escape or otherwise control what we perceive is making us feel incomplete or inadequate.

Hoping that you can rush out of one place -- in a hurry to get somewhere else -- and arrive there having left your anxiety behind you is like believing it's possible to kill a swarm of stinging thoughts by spraying yourself with insecticide!...

Hoping that if you can just keep moving -- rush from one place to another -- so that when you arrive "there" your pain and anxiety will finally be left behind you -- is like believing it's possible to kill a swarm of stinging thoughts by spraying yourself with insecticide!...
