“...as long as you are motivated by the approval of others, you cannot know with confidence whether the decisions you are making in your life are what's right for you...”

“You cannot do what's important now for you if your mind cannot accept what is happening in this present moment.”

“When you do what's important now for you, you create a past that leaves you ready to handle the present. By default, the future is taking care of itself as you make decisions that are acceptable to you no matter what happens tomorrow.”

“When you are living in the present, you know what's important now for you and you act on that knowing.”

“The present is what is happening when you strip away all the resentments of your past and all the worries you have about your future.”

“When you are authentic without an intent to harm others, you give yourself an awesome feeling which is the feeling of self-love.”

“When you are present, you are not needy.”
