To be beautiful means to be yourself. You don’t need to be accepted by others. You need to accept yourself.
The all-embracing vast being which is there behind the play of the universe and with which you will have to identify yourself - for this is your true self.
The people who help us grow toward true self offer unconditional love, neither judging us to be deficient nor trying to force us to change but accepting us exactly as we are. And yet this unconditional love does not lead us to rest on our laurels. Instead, it surrounds us with a charged force field that makes us want to grow from the inside out - a force field that is safe enough to take the risks and endure the failures that growth requires.

It is only when you have become that true Self consciously, when all these illusions have fallen away, that you will be perfectly free and perfectly happy.

Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth.
If you want to give birth to your true self, you are going to have to dig deep down into that body of yours and let your soul howl. Sometimes you have to take a leap of faith and trust that if you turn off your head, your feet will take you where you need to go.
Choice is the key, because human beings are the only creatures who can choose to evolve, who can shape their destiny. Furthermore, we have been given the gift of "self-awareness," which allows us to step back into our true selves to observe and use our brains to create the world we wish to live in.

All of the searching, all of the struggling, all of the efforting to find your true self is naturally revealed in open, relaxed simplicity.
Being fully in the present, you experience the timeless. In the timeless, you find your true self.
I will not be alone if I am my true self. Only by trading my true self for the companionship of another have I ever made myself alone.

Whenever I allow anything but tenderness and compassion to dictate my response to life--be it self-righteous anger, moralizing, defensiveness, the pressing need to change others...I am alienated from my true self.
