01UndatedThe truth is that most of life will unfold in accordance with forces far outside your control, regardless of what your mind says about it.Michael Singer / quote ↗
02UndatedYou said to your mind, "I want everyone to like me. I don't want anyone to speak badly of me. I want everything I say and do to be acceptable and pleasing to everyone. I don't want anyone to hurt me. I don't want anything to happen that I don't like. And I want everything to happen that I do like." Then you said, "Now mind, figure out how to make every one of these things a reality, even if you have to think about it day and night." And of course your mind said, "I'm on the job, I will work on it constantly.Michael Singer / quote ↗
03UndatedEverything will be okay as soon as you are okay with everything. And that is the only time everything will be okay.Michael Singer / quote ↗
04UndatedWhat you end up experiencing is really a personal presentation of the world according to you, rather than the stark, unfiltered experience of what is really out there. This mental manipulation of the outer experience allows you to buffer reality as it comes in.Michael Singer / quote ↗
05UndatedEventually it will become quiet enough so that you can simply watch the heart begin to react, and let go before the mind starts.

06UndatedEverything will be okay as soon as youare okay with everything. And that’s theonly time everything will be okay.Michael Singer / quote ↗
07UndatedMost people can hardly imagine what it would be like to be at peace with inner disturbance. But if you do not learn to be comfortable with it, you will devote your life to avoiding it. If you feel insecurity, it's just a feeling. You can handle a feelin. If you feel embarrassed, it's just a feeling. It's just a part of creation. If you feel jealousy and your heart burns, just look at it objectively, like you would a mild bruise. It's a thing in the universe that is passing through your system. Laugh at it, have fun with it, but don't be afraid of it. It cannot touch you unless you touch it.Michael Singer / quote ↗
09UndatedThe only permanent solution to your problems is to go inside and let go of the part of you that seems to have so many problems with reality. Once you do that, you'll be clear enough to deal with what's left.Michael Singer / quote ↗
10UndatedEventually you will see that the real cause of problem is not life itself. It's the commotion the mind makes about life that really causes the problems.Michael Singer / quote ↗
