You are not a body. You are not a mind. You are infinite light, infinite intelligence, the radiance of all beings, the dharmakaya - the endless light of creation.
The moment in between what you once were, and who you are now becoming, is where the dance of life really takes place.
To worry is to add another hazard.
The most effective way to manage change is to create it.
If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.

No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don't want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it.

The real being, with no status, is always going in and out through the doors of your face.

Today a reader, tomorrow a leader.

Behind every argument is someone's ignorance.
Let no man pray that he know not sorrow, Let no soul ask to be free from pain, For the gall of to-day is the sweet of to-morrow, And the moment's loss is the lifetime's gain.
When obstacles arise, you change your direction to reach your goal; you do not change your decision to get there.
Life is like an ever-shifting kaleidoscope - a slight change, and all patterns alter.
