Ultimately, the kindest thing you can do for yourself, and everyone around you, is to align yourself with the life you were born to live.

Many meditations are about creating some kind of feeling or intention. If I was in an arguing mood, I’d say they are misguided. Within you is a higher wisdom but it can only come through when you stop having an agenda, when you let go.

How DO you accept something you really don’t want? It all comes down to realising – with ruthless honesty – what you control and what you don’t.

What if you never gave any more conscious attention to what you don’t want and what could go wrong? What if you made your life a sole celebration of all that is good, right, beautiful and true? What would happen then?

‘Mindfulness’ has become such a buzz word it can lose its meaning in the repetition. Don’t make it more complicated than it needs to be; keep it simple so you can make the most of your moments, any time.

You’re gonna make it. How you have no idea – for all the control and the worry and the over-thinking – but you will.

Greatness isn’t so much about being the best at something, but being the best at being yourself. That’s when you truly start to have an impact.

Go first, take the lead, don’t wait for others to bring to life what you value. Then you’re free from disappointment and being let down – because you know only you can fulfil your ideals.

Normality is our society’s commonly accepted path to find stability and ultimately success and happiness. But it’s insanely flawed. There is no stability in anything our society promotes.
