The key to calming down and quieting a busy mind is to trust that, if you do, everything will be okay. If you empty your mind, you won't be turning it off. It will still be working. In fact,
it will be smarter and work better and more efficiently. A wise, intelligent, and orderly thought process will take over, and the appropriate thoughts will emerge when needed.

Richard Carlson

The thoughts always precede the actions. Thus the importance of "managing" our thoughts and not let them run rampant. They are not the "directors" of our show. They are simply the precursors to action. So if you don't like the direction your life is taking, or your day, or a particular interaction, take a look at your thoughts.

Marie T. Russell

Times are changing for the better. Continue on the path of trust and obedience. Be open to the new.

Melody Beattie

You are not responsible for the choices that others make, nor are they responsible for yours. However, you can and must learn from one another, for what you choose is not that different from the choice your brother makes. You make many of the same mistakes. Mistakes are opportunities for learning. To condemn your brother for making mistakes is to pretend to be mistake free, which you are not. I have asked you before and I will ask you again: which one of you will throw the first stone?
Paul Ferrini

Humor is a gateway to wisdom. Walk through it and you will master a spiritual skill that will create space between you and the fictional character you call yourself. It will put the smile of Buddha that is in your soul upon your face.
Dr. Michael Beckwith

We do not possess our home, our children, or even our own body. They are only given to us for a short while to treat with care and respect.

A little light in a dark room is still a great illumination.

Nothing in life is to be feared. It is only to be understood.
Madame Curie

A great man is he who does not lose his child's heart.
