"You already are where you need to be, and already have what you need - because you already are the person you have always wished you could be."
“That’s because you want the map to show you where to go, but that’s not what maps do. What they do is show you where you are.”
"The law of karma is this: every action has a consequence. The action itself is called karma; the consequence of the action is called vipaka."

"As you go through your day, get in the habit of observing the interior with the same detachment with which you observe the exterior. When your boss or your co-worker is doing or saying something, you don’t identify with what they’re doing or saying, because you know they’re not you. In the same way, notice whatever reactions, thoughts, emotions you’re having, but don’t identify with them. Don’t make the mistake of thinking they’re you. Just see it, see what’s going on, without holding on and making a self-centered story out of it."

"If you examine what you think of as the most angry and dramatic behavior of your life, you’ll realize, when you look at it carefully, that you liked it."
"Most arguments seem to have less to do with solving a problem than with trying to be right."
