“You are the only thing holding you back from happiness. You have the ability to change your life radically for better or worse.”
“The more we work to remove our fears and insecurities, the more aware we become of the interworkings of the universe and tap into the laws of nature, which, to most, will appear like we're doing some magic trickery.”
“Tension can be useful, exciting, flirtatious, strength-building, or destructive. Put yourself in charge of how you direct it.”
“Meditation is practical, simple, and very useful. Taking even 30 seconds to rest your attention on your breath instead of following the cycle of your thoughts can bring you back to you in a heart beat.”
“Barack Obama is my American Idol.”
“One of my favorite teachers is Osho, mainly because he liked to push people's buttons just to get them to think and live outside of their comfort zone.”
“We all have insecurities. It takes maintenance and constant practice to first identify what they are so we can have an understanding of how we tick and, second, to put forth the action to deal with them.”
“The first rule of negotiation is to always be willing to walk away from the deal. The first rule of happiness is to not be attached to pleasing moments.”
“Unfiltered venting to a friend about difficult situations can be helpful. But it can work against you if your life turns into complaining.”
“The mere acknowledgment that 'God is watching' can act as a trap, fueling bad behavior, corruption, and guilt, all remedied by God's forgiveness. No personal responsibility is needed - someone on the outside sees whatever we're doing and makes it all OK.”
“I grew up feeling from a very young age that what was right was right, no matter if God or my teacher said so.”
“When we feel like we discover something, we are usually uncovering or realizing what has always been there. The laws of nature are always present, waiting for us to tune in.”
“We spend so much time closing ourselves to protect from scary things that we forget that when we do open to the world, inspiration can flow.”
“Meditation can be intimidating. Sitting there doing nothing, just breathing, can be trickier than it sounds. It may feel strange, uncomfortable, or even put you to sleep.”
“We only get one body - might as well take good care of it.”
“Interactions - whether personal or business, teacher-student, friend to friend, or family member - all call for balance, respect, and compassion.”
“Stress happens. In different ways, we all hold unnecessary tension in our bodies all day long. Shoulders, neck, wrists, hips, hamstrings, back, oh my!”
“Read labels in your favorite products. Look for short lists of simple, less-processed ingredients with names you recognize as food. If you find some of the same ingredients in your cereal as your shampoo, maybe it's time to switch to something simpler.”
“Time moves along at its own pace for as long as we are on this planet, and then some. So why try to beat it anymore? Maybe it's better to meet time head on and chill ourselves out so we can exist in harmony with the passing days.”
