I have spent my whole life terrified. Scared of things that could go wrong. Things that might happen; things that might not happen. But in time I’ve seen that it’s fear that’s the real enemy. So get up. Get out there, and live the life you want to live.

Don’t be a victim of your own mind.

And I said to my body softly, ‘I want to be your friend.’ It took a long breath. And replied, 'I have been waiting my whole life for this.’

Materialism is an expensive life-style. It’s more expensive than one may think. That’s why people always run after sales, because they know deep inside how much these products cost them: their time, their nerves and their heart and mind. And too often it actually keeps them from thinking and being creative and doing something much better with their time.

Most of us do not take these situations as teachings. We automatically hate them. We run like crazy. We use all kinds of ways to escape – all addictions stem from this moment when we meet our edge and we just can’t stand it. We feel we have to soften it, pad it with something, and we become addicted to whatever it is that seems to ease the pain.

I never realized what a big deal that was. How amazing it is to find someone who wants to hear about all the things that go on in your head. You just think that things will stay the way they are. You never look up, in a moment that feels like every other moment in your life, and think, Soon this will be over. But I understand more now. About the way life works.
