  Those who behave in ways that you dislike are sending out their disharmony towards you because that's all they have to give away.  Hating them is akin to hating moss for growing on the tree.

  "The American diet is slowly killing us.  Red meat contribute to heart disease.  Soft drinks corrode our stomach lining.  Chineese food is loaded with MSG.  There are germs in our drinking water.  But there is one thing that is most dangerous of all, and we all have, or will, eat it.  Would anyone care to guess what food causes the most grief and suffering for years after eating it?"

  Make a conscious decision to look for what is right and pleasing in others.  Decide that you're going to disregard stereotypes, and refuse to engage in conversations that dwell on judging anyone.

  Examine the Labels you apply to yourself.  Every single Label is a boundry or a Limit of one kind or another.

    Happiness and success are inner processes that we bring to Life's undertakings, rather than something we get from "out there."

  One of the highest places you can get to is to be independent of the good opinions of other people.

So, getting rid of red, swelling, and scabbing blemishes means having to cope with redness, swelling, and peeling?

  Your belief about yourself is the most telling factor in determining your level of success and happiness.

  People need to be right.  If you can remove that issue from your life, you'll save yourself lots of suffering.

  Life is really very simple.  What we give out, we get back.

  You don't have to behave the way you've behaved just because you always have.

You burn your yard rather than mow it.

The Salvation Army declines your furniture.

Your wife can climb a tree faster than your cat.

You keep flea and tick soap in the shower.

The biggest city you've ever been to is Walmart.

You test your car battery with your tongue.

You traded your truck for a dog.

Thanks Jeff.

  Release your need to feel superior by seeing the unfolding of Spirit in everyone.

  Don't assess others on the basis of their appearance, achievements, and possessions.

  Remember:  We are all equal in the eyes of God.

Rep. Rangel was asked what he thought of Pres. Bush - "well " , he said, "I really think he shatters the myth of white supremacy once and for all."

  To not forgive is to fail to understand how the universe works and how you fit into it.

  So many people are expecting a miracle instead of being a miracle.

  Life is never boring, but some people choose to be bored... boredom is a choice.

  If you do not have the capacity to love yourself, then there is simply no basis on which to build a sense of caring towards others.

    Dalai Lama

  It isn't the world that makes you unhappy, or the way people are in the world.  It's how you process the people and events of the world.

The only signal you use while driving is "the finger."

Your barber wears rubber gloves.

Your will mentions tires.

The ATM starts laughing when you walk up to it.

Starting your car wakes at least 12 cats.

The first time you danced with your wife it cost you $20.

  Of all the deathbed regrets one hears, not one of them has been, "I wish I'd spent more time at the office."

  We talk privately to God and call it prayer.  So then why does a return call seem so far-fetched, particularly if we believe that there's some universal intelligence out there that we're addressing?

  If you build a house that has as its foundation only one support system and that particular support collapses, your entire house will topple.

  You're totally free when you're able to stop thinking about yourself and your self-importance.

  Everything in Life is a paradox.  The less you care whether you get approval, the more you get.

  Helping somebody else achieve a sense of purpose is part of the mission of what it means to be a parent.

  Enlightened people move away from conflict and confrontation.

You think a "sex change" means trying the backseat.

Your bucket seats are real buckets.

Both you and your wife wore ponytails on your wedding day.

Your wedding reception was a tailgate party.Your bar tab has page numbers.

Your father-in-law said you had no class so you spit on him.

You vaccum the sheets instead of washing them.

  Be patient and loving with every fearful thought.

  The more you extend kindness to yourself, the more it will become your automatic response to others.

  Along with love, compassion is the face of altruism.  It is a feeling from deep in the heart that you cannot bear others' sufferings without acting to relieve it.
