The only mistake that we can make as human beings is to be asleep, unaware of ourselves.
The only reason your mind won't stop its endless chattering is because you won't stop listening to it!
Who you really are, your True Nature, is no more tied to the kind of person you've been than the wind is tied to the skies through which it moves. Your past is just that, the past, a place within your psyche with no more reality to it than a picture of a castle on a postcard is made from stone. You have a destination far beyond where you find yourself standing today.
What you don't want to know about yourself wants to be known, which is why it keeps 'showing up' at your door unannounced!

An unattended mind is the breeding ground of self-defeat.
It's time to break our ties with anything in us that would rather complain about its situation than go to work to change it.
Real achievement -- the true measure of how far we have advanced in life -- is not determined by what we have acquired, but rather by the degree to which we have put our fears behind us.
The only way to cultivate a quiet mind is by planting seeds of silence.
Real change isn't found in some new way to think about yourself, but in freedom from the need to think about yourself at all.
Any form of measuring yourself by the unkind action of another towards you is like looking into a badly fractured mirror... and then blaming yourself for the shattered image you see therein.
