“The future is completely open, and we are writing it moment to moment.”

It isn't what happens to us that causes us to suffer; it's what we say to ourselves about what happens.

When you begin to touch your heart or let your heart be touched, you begin to discover that it's bottomless.

Nothing ever goes away until it has taught us what we need to know.

If we learn to open our hearts, anyone, including the people who drive us crazy, can be our teacher.

The truth you believe and cling to makes you unavailable to hear anything new.

To be fully alive, fully human, and completely awake is to be continually thrown out of the nest.

The greatest obstacle to connecting with our joy is resentment.

We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.
