“Don't believe what the spiritual sharks and clever carnival hustlers tell you about fearless living - they lie.”

“It isn't something of which most of us are aware, but we human beings are 'marked' with a certain strange feature, and that is: We want to change.”

“Being fully present is the best guarantee for a bright future.”

“No one rises above who he or she has been without first having fallen down. The best time - in fact, the only time - to make a real change in your life is in the moment of seeing the need for it. He who hesitates always gets lost in the hundred reasons why tomorrow is a better day to get started.”

“Within each of us dwells a higher order of consciousness created with a possibility far greater than to merely appear and disappear as some form in the river of passing time.”

“The strength of any weakness within us is the degree to which it is feared.”

“Be still; quietly remember the presence of and within yourself, and you will know, without thinking, that while all around you everything changes, within you lives something unchanging.”

“All created forms are fractal, as is their purpose, use, and allotted time for existence.”

“What world is there for us where our essential nature - and its right to live free - is one and the same?”

“It's important for us to become aware of the fact that we are needful, for with that awareness also comes the sensing that we couldn't be needful if there weren't something to fulfill the need.”

“When it comes to the fearless life, the divine gives nothing freely... save to those who freely give themselves to discovering the truth about their own fearless selves.”

“Nothing in the universe can stop you from letting go and starting over.”

“we are not here on earth to change our destiny but to fulfill it.”

“Within us - the heart of us, really - is a 'ground' that is to our thoughts and feelings, our relationships with others and ourselves, as is the Earth to the leaves that first race across her and then, no longer able to run, give themselves up to nourish her body so that she may give birth again come the spring.”

“All we will ever know and share about love, humility, compassion, and sacrifice - the secrets that will reveal and then resolve old sorrows - awaits us within ourselves.”
