“You don’t own your life – it’s on loan.”

“You don’t have to lead your life for others – just lead your life.”

“Everyone has their own drama. If you want to join the others, go ahead if you want to do that. Or, you can stick to your own. Sometimes it’s a lot easier that way.”

“Everyone has their own life to lead, in their own way. You know, when you really look at things as they appear, the whole trip is simply unbelievable. Actually, it’s totally ridiculous most of the time.”

“Everyone has their own fears and their own way of dealing with those fears. Don’t get mixed up in someone else’s fears – deal with your own fears.”

“It’s not our job to pick up another’s fears or even their strengths. Work on your own fears and strengths, that’s your spiritual practice.”

“You have to surrender everything because you don’t know how it’s going to turn out. That’s what makes it all so mysterious.”
