Concentration is a mental process. Mindfulness is an emotional process. Meditation is a soulful process.

The value of the mind is that it tells you what’s familiar.

The problem with the ego is that it sees everything from a distorted perspective.

Old ideas are those just waiting to be acted on. Then, they become new ideas.

The ego doesn’t consider that its actions will inconvenience you or destroy anything that’s beautiful and precious to you. All it cares about is getting what it wants.

Thoughts are just information until emotions are attached to them.

Weaknesses become strengths if you transform them through actions.

Emotions are what drive behavior. Not thoughts.

If you approach learning with an open mind, what you know will serve you well throughout your life.

The secret to alleviating suffering is to stop feeling guilty.
