Be a dead man,
Thoroughly dead;
And act as you will,
And all is good.

The bad news is you're falling through the air,
nothing to hang on to, no parachute.
The good news is, there's no ground.

A beating by self-hate for not being the right person in this moment is never going to lead to having the life you want somewhere out there in an imaginary future.  A beating will lead to more beatings. Having the life you want leads to having the life you want. If you want to be happy, turn your attention to your experience of happy, and be happy.
- Cheri Huber

The voices of self-hate, the ones that call you "you", try to steal your life from you, and probably often succeed, but that doesn't change the fact that your life is yours to have and enjoy.

Live your life in such a way that when your feet hit the floor Satan shudders and says, "Oh no, she's awake."

I have come to the frightening conclusion that I am the decisive element. It is my personal approach that creates the climate. It is my daily mood that makes the weather. I possess tremendous power to make life miserable or joyous. I can be a tool of torture or an instrument of inspiration, I can humiliate or humor, hurt or heal. In all situations, it is my response that decides whether a crisis is escalated or de-escalated, and a person is humanized or de-humanized.
- Goethe

Always we hope someone else has the answer, some other place will be better, some other time it will all turn out. This is it; no one else has the answer, no other place will be better, and it has already turned out.

Can we simply be whatever it is without needing to be someone who is having that experience? Can each experience simply happen and that be all right?
- Cheri Huber

What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make.
- Jane Goodall

Letting go, getting out of the way, saying yes, receiving, accepting, allowing. This life belongs to life. "I" get to enjoy it for as long as life animates this form, and when it no longer does I will no longer be. Simple as that.
- Cheri Huber

We don't beat the reaper by living longer, but by living well, and living fully - for the reaper will come for all of us. The question is: what do we do between the time we're born and the time he shows up.
- Randy Pausch


A good beating never helped anything --except possibly a rug-- and aren't you tired of being one.
- Cheri Huber

When we are in love with love rather than with an object, in love with the process of love rather than the content, we can feel that we are always in love, a love without conditions.

Loving-kindness (maitri) toward ourselves doesn't mean getting rid of anything. Maitri means that we can still be crazy, we can still be angry. We can still be timid or jealous or full of feelings of unworthiness. Meditation practice isn't about trying to throw ourselves away or become something better. It's about befriending who we are already.
- Pema Chodron

We can let go and be free in a moment.
But will we?
Probably not.
But that just means we won't, it doesn't mean we can't.
- Cheri Huber

Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened.

Truly, the greatest gift you have to give is that of your own self-transformation.

- Lao Tzu

There are no exceptional people. There are just people living their truth, and then the rest of us. Our sole purpose on earth is to fill our honest heart and not fall pray to the egocentric idea that we can truly influence others.---Brian Clement.

We must realize that we, as all others, are solo acts -- like the many grains of sand on the beach residing on the same shores of the same planet. Although we can only change ourselves, focusing on our own reality and improving it day by day, we can become examples for others.--- Brian Clement
