“If you learn to really sit with loneliness and embrace it for the gift that it is鈥n opportunity to get to know YOU, to learn how strong you really are, to depend on no one but YOU for your happiness鈥ou will realize that a little loneliness goes a LONG way in creating a richer, deeper, more vibrant and colorful YOU.”

“Don't waste your time trying to provide people with proof of deceit, in order to keep their love, win their love or salvage their respect for you. The truth is this: If they care they will go out of their way to learn the truth. If they don't then they really don't value you as a human being. The moment you have to sell people on who you are is the moment you let yourself believe that every good thing you have ever done or accomplished was invisible to the world. And, it is not!”

“I'm traveling a speed
unknown to man
and I carry love for all
in the mirror of my hand.
I say love for all鈥on't try to run away...
look at the mirrors of your heart.
Face the truth today鈥�
I am what I am, thank God.
Some people don't understand,
Help them, God鈥�
I say find yourself first, and then your tool.
I say find yourself first, don't you be no fool.
Here comes a woman, sweat all down her back.
For birth or for pleasure, she's on the right track鈥�
But for being free, she ain't supposed to plea.
And don't rely on no man to try and understand.
I say find yourself first
and then your talent.
Work hard in your mind
for it to come alive.
And then prove to the man
that you're as strong as him.
'Cause in the eyes of God鈥�
you're both children to him鈥�
You are what you are, thank God.
You gonna shine like a star
with the help of God鈥�
But we find ourselves first
and then our tool鈥�
Find yourself, don't be no fool.”

“I know that I'm a human being and that I'm a man and that I am conscious and here...other than that I know nothing.
Admitting that leaves me open to possibly having a better understanding of myself, if I'm fortunate enough.”

“To know your mind,
you need a little distance.
You need to be a step or two away
and be able to notice
what your mind is doing
without being so lost or involved in it
that you can鈥檛 see it.
It鈥檚 like trying to see your eyes.
If you want to see yourself,
you need to create some space,
you need a mirror.
Stillness, mindfulness, meditation:
these are the mirrors.”

“Over time, from trial and error, and one experience after another, you start to become more familiar with yourself. You learn what excites you, and just as importantly you learn what repels you. You begin to develop that 'I could see myself doing this forever' feeling, whether it's about a line of work or a relationship. You want to look for clues as to what really matters to you. And you want to get better at making decisions accordingly.”

“When we shut down certain feelings, it's easy to lose our natural relationship with them. But having feelings is an essential part of being human. They are the essence of who you are as a person, and without them it's hard to know important things about yourself like:
who you are,
what kind of relationships you want,
what you want to do for work or purpose,
what gives your life meaning.
All of these things require having access to your feelings.”

“Joy is our ultimate truth. Joy comes from the roots of our being.聽It comes from our deepest core. Everything else is on the periphery, on the circumference.聽
Joy is really聽the search for our own being. it is the search聽for knowing oneself. It is the search聽to discover聽one's true nature.The moment we know who we are,聽 joy happens. And the聽moment聽we are joyful, we know who we are.聽
Joy is the taste聽of聽聽our being.聽If we do not find our joy, only聽we聽are responsible. We are not聽searching, we are not interested.聽We do聽not have the commitment聽to go into the depth of聽ourselves.聽When one is ready to go into聽聽the depth of ourselves,聽a new joy happens.聽”
