It is said that we teach people how to treat us. How we treat others invites similar treatment. Our response to the external conditions of our lives can be greatly altered by our perceptions of those conditions. And we have control of that perception. No experience has to demoralize us. Each situation can be appreciated for its long-term contribution to our growth as happy, secure people.

Melody Beattie

We look at some people as if they were special, gifted, divine. Nobody is special and gifted and divine. No more than you are, no more than I am. The only difference, the very only one, is that they have begun to understand what they really are and have begun to practice it.

Richard Bach

The more I examine the universe and study the details of its architecture, the more evidence I find that the universe in some sense must have known we were coming.

Freeman Dyson

Life is like music for its own sake. We are living in the eternal now, and when we listen to music we are not listening to the past, we are not listening to the future, we are listening to an expanded present.

. . . the key to lasting happiness is to stop looking for it, and to know you already have it. If you look for happiness, you will never find it. If you think it is around the corner, then you will keep turning corners. The real key to happiness is to live and play in the field of intelligence that is beyond positive and negative. That field is your source, and it is magical, holy, joyful, and free.
Deepak Chopra
