If I live life as some barter system, I will in fact never have given anything away except the opportunity to really live.

In my impatience I become convinced that this desire of mine should have been fulfilled yesterday, when it belongs to a tomorrow that yesterday would have killed had I had my way.

As utterly irrational as it might seem, the greed within me has the most limited vision I can possibly imagine as it has eyes only for the few things it doesn’t have, and it is completely blind to all the many remarkable things that it does.

If life is always my party, I’ll never need to order much food.

Be assured that whatever it is, there will be nothing ‘in it for me’ if I approach it from the perspective of ‘what’s in it for me.

If I’m the only person at my party it’s probably because the party is about one person. And if it’s only about one person, it’s not a party.

The greatest cause involves the decision not to make myself the greatest cause.

Yes, there are times when the world turns upside down, logic becomes subject to the muse of reckless interpretation, truth becomes the bed-child of selfish goals, and people are off on a wild course that bludgeons everyone they once loved or anyone who gets in the way of what they now purport to love.

In reality, a gift is nothing more than the wrappings within which I have placed myself.
