As long as you think that the cause of your problem is “out there”—as long as you think that anyone or anything is responsible for your suffering—the situation is hopeless. It means that you are forever in the role of victim, that you’re suffering in paradise.

Everything happens for me, not to me.

We’ve been looking outside us for our own peace. We’ve been looking in the wrong direction.

Thought the mind can justify itself faster than the speed of light, it can be stopped through the act of writing.

You might believe that it’s only for their own good, but how does it feel when you try to manipulate the people you love? Are you teaching them that your love is conditional? Maybe through inquiry we can find another way.

Once the mind is met with understanding, it can always find its way home.

I like to say that no one can hurt me—that’s my job. This is good news.

When I argue with reality, I lose—but only 100 percent of the time.

The Work is: Judge your neighbor, write it down, ask four questions, turn it around. That’s it. Simple stuff.

We’re all looking for love, in our confusion, until we find our way back to the realization that love is what we already are.

Everyone is a mirror image of yourself—your own thinking coming back to you.
