change

If we can transform ourselves, we have the potential to change the world.

Remember that nothing has to change in the world for us to transform our own life experience.

The presence of advanced attention is the only thing that really changes us, and the benefits of receiving it are always extraordinary.

The hallmark of power is the capacity in those who weild it to specify a change and then bring it about, by whatever means.

No one can tell what goes on in between the person you were and the person you become.  There are no maps of the change. You just come out the other side.  Or you don't.

Faith is harder to shake than knowledge, love succumbs less to change than respect, hate is more enduring than aversion, and the impetus to the mightiest upheavals on this earth has at all times consisted less in a scientific knowledge dominating the masses than in a fanaticism which inspired them and sometimes in a hysteria which drove them forward.

....the sea changes color, but the sea does not change.

Growth requires change,
and with growth there is pain,
but it is short lived compared
to living every day
with the pain of ignorance.
