Courage

Work out your own salvation. Do not depend on others.
To enjoy good health, to bring true happiness to one's family, to bring peace to all, one must first discipline and control one's own mind.
No one saves us but ourselves. No one can and no one may. We ourselves must walk the path.
Do not be misled by what you see around you, or be influenced by what you see. You live in a world which is a playground of illusion, full of false paths, false values and false ideals. But you are not part of that world.
Man learns through experience, and the spiritual path is full of different kinds of experiences.
Let your life lightly dance on the edges of Time like dew on the tip of a leaf.
Faith is the bird that feels the light when the dawn is still dark.
You can't cross the sea merely by standing and staring at the water.
Accept responsibility for your life. Know that it is you who will get you where you want to go, no one else.
Life takes on meaning when you become motivated, set goals and charge after them in an unstoppable manner.
There is a universal, intelligent, life force that exists within everyone and everything.
Every time you don't follow your inner guidance, you feel a loss of energy, loss of power, a sense of spiritual deadness.
Following our inner guidance may feel risky and frightening at first, because we are no longer playing it safe, doing what we 'should' do, pleasing others, following rules, or deferring to outside authority.
You create your opportunities by asking for them.
The heart surrenders everything to the moment. The mind judges and holds back.
It is important to expect nothing, to take every experience, including the negative ones, as merely steps on the path, and to proceed.
The secret in handling fear is to move yourself from a position of pain to a position of power.
We can’t escape fear. We can only transform it into a companion that accompanies us in all our exciting adventures.
I find hope in the darkest of days, and focus in the brightest. I do not judge the universe.
A truly compassionate attitude toward others does not change even if they behave negatively or hurt you.
