“slowing down your responses and becoming a better listeners aids you in becoming a more peaceful person”

“Something wonderful begins to happen with the simple realization that life, like an automobile, is driven from the inside out, not the other way around. As you focus more on becoming more peaceful with where you are, rather than focusing on where you would rather be, you begin to find peace right now, in the present. Then, as you move around, try new things, and meet new people, you carry that sense of inner peace with you. It's absolutely true that, "Wherever you go, there you are.”

“Effective listening is more than simply avoiding the bad habit of interrupting others while they are speaking or finishing their sentences. It's being content to listen to the entire thought of someone rather than waiting impatiently for your chance to respond.”

“Children listen best with their eyes. What you do is what they hear.”

“What interferes with this peaceful feeling is our expectation of reciprocity.”

“as you begin to eliminate your need for perfection in all areas of your life, you'll begin to discover the perfection in life itself”

“If we would just slow down, happiness would catch up to us.”
