“The Paradox of Change: People can only change when they feel accepted as they are now.”

“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.”

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

“We cannot let go of the past enough to live in the present unless we are able to grieve our losses. We must deeply feel our emotional pain in order to accept that what is happening is not what we wanted.”

“In order to live in the present, we have to learn how to feel safe even when a situation feels threatening to us.”

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