Memorable Quotes

"Desire plus non-resistance equals desired result. If you become non-resistant to the desire, you will produce the result 100% of the time, consistently and predictably."

"The moment you no longer need anything is actually the moment you become magnetic to everything."

"Problems come to pass; they don't come to stay. But if you keep hanging out with the problem, trying to solve it, trying to control it, it can't pass—it stays."
