To forgive is to let go of future trauma caused by clinging.
Every relationship is a doorway to misery and joy.
Every unwanted gift is an opportunity to be generous.
Every ‘yes’ adds a little clutter to your calendar.
Big decisions with little discussion create big disappointments.
Anger is when your heart says, "I feel passionate but powerless."
Our impulses blind us to the truth.
To change the world, give up your expectations about which parts of the world you will change.
