The willingness and ability to live fully in the now eludes many people. While eating your appetizer, don't be concerned with dessert.
If you want to be a voice for peace in the world, begin by making peace a permanent condition of your own life.
Conflict cannot survive without your participation.
When you're just like everybody else, you've nothing to offer other than your conformity.
When you are spiritually connected, you are not looking for occasions to be offended, and you are not judging and labeling others. You are in a state of grace in which you know you are connected to God and thus free from the effects of anyone or anything external to yourself.
Trust and value your own divinity as well as your connection to nature. Seeing God's work everywhere will be your reward.

Everything that's created comes out of silence. Your thoughts emerge from the nothingness of silence. Your words come out of this void. Your very essence emerged from emptiness. All creativity requires some stillness.
It's never crowded along the extra mile.
Find joy and solace in the simple, and cultivate your utopia by feeling the Tao in every cubic inch of space.
One of the huge imbalances in life is the disparity between your daily existence, with its routines and habits, and the dream you have within yourself of some extraordinarily satisfying way of living.
When you dance, your purpose is not to get to a certain place on the floor. It's to enjoy each step along the way.
By taking responsibility for how you choose to respond to anything or anyone, you're aligning yourself with the beautiful dance of life.
What we think determines what happens to us, so if we want to change our lives, we need to stretch our minds.
