You think your pain and your heartbreak are unprecedented in the history of the world, but then you read. It was books that taught me that the things that tormented me most were the very things that connected me with all the people who were alive, or who had ever been alive.

Be the energy you want to attract.

There is something within you that remains unaffected by the transient circumstances that make up your life situation, and only through surrender do you have access to it. It is your life, your very Being — which exists eternally in the timeless realm of the present. Finding this life is “the one thing that is needed” that Jesus talked about.

Be kinder to yourself. And then let your kindness flood the world.

it’s about who you miss at 2 in the afternoon when you’re busy, not 2 in the morning when you’re lonely.

You have to find the right distance between people. Too close, and they overwhelm you, too far and they abandon you.
