the realizations arrived quickly, the learning took time, and the livin was the hardest part. I found myself right where I left me.

You don't get to change how life changes, just how it changes you.

Sometimes that happens to us, way before we’re ready, a moment that changes everything. Life will be going along, like normal, and then one day without warning you find out that nothing will ever be the same.

Life changes fast. Life changes in the instant. You sit down to dinner and life as you know it ends.

Life changes fast. Life changes in the instant. You sit down to dinner and life as you know it ends. The question of self-pity.

Each morning comes along and you assume it will be similar enough to the previous one — that you will be safe, that your family will be alive, that you will be together, that life will remain mostly as it was. Then a moment arrives and everything changes.

Just when I thought I was learning how to live, 'twas then I realized I was learning how to die.

when you went from not knowing something to knowing something, it changed the way you lived.

Keep ignoring feedback and life will keep teaching you the same lesson.

You change your life when you start showing up exactly as you are. You change your life when you become comfortable with being happy here, even if you want to go forward. You change your life when you can love yourself even though you don’t look exactly the way you want to. You change your life when you are principled about money and love and relationships, when you treat strangers as well as you do your CEO, and when you manage $1,000 the same way you would $10,000. You change your life when you start doing the truly scary thing, which is showing up exactly as you are. Most of the problems that exist in our lives are distractions from the real problem, which is that we are not comfortable in the present moment, as we are, here and now. So we must heal that first.

It had to happen to you, to concentrate your whole life on one point, and then discover that you can do anything except live at that point.

You cannot stay at the same level as when you first practiced your truth, life won't let you.

You can not live at all if you do not learn to adapt yourself to your life as it happens to be.

Your life stops when learning stops
