  • Not every empty room needs to be filled.
  • Doing hinders being.
  • Peace arises the moment you realize there is nothing that must be done in this moment.
  • Stillness pasteurizes the chaos of the mind. 
  • “What can I let go of?” is a more powerful question than “what can I do?”
  • Minimalism isn’t scarcity; it’s abundance healthfully expressed.
  • Judgment is a mirror that reflects the insecurities of the judge.
  • Shame is a tether that restricts our freedom.
  • Your desires are not your desires if they were handed to you by someone else.
  • The suffering of the past points toward the obstacles to avoid in the future.
  • If you want to be miserable, turn their mistakes into your problems.
  • Our feelings are teachers to be engaged, not demons to be exorcized.
  • Letting go is not something you do—it’s something you stop doing.
  • Every negative emotion points toward your biggest fear—that you are not enough—which is the greatest lie ever told.
