"An excellent way to practice love is to set your attention on seeing beyond someone's behavior or personality." ~Richard Carlson
"Effective listening is more than simply avoiding the bad habit of interrupting others while they are speaking or finishing their sentences. It's being content to listen to the entire thought of someone rather than waiting impatiently for your chance to respond." ~Richard Carlson
"Just as you wouldn't get angry at someone simply because he or she is in a wheelchair, you need not be angry because a person hasn't yet opened his heart to the nourishment of his Soul." ~Richard Carlson
"Many people live as if life were a dress rehearsal for some later date. It isn't. In fact, no one has a guarantee that he or she will be here tomorrow. Now is the only time we have, and the only time that we have any control over." ~Richard Carlson
“The first step in becoming a more peaceful person is to have the humility to admit that, in most cases, you’re creating your own emergencies. Life will usually go on if things don’t go according to plan.” ~Richard Carlson
"There is a way to be happy. It involves changing the emphasis of our thinking from what we want to what we have." ~Richard Carlson
"To a large degree, the measure of our peace of mind is determined by how much we are able to live in the present moment. Irrespective of what happened yesterday or last year, and what may or may not happen tomorrow, the present moment is where you are--always!" ~Richard Carlson
"Try to realize that beneath the surface insecurity, negative thinking, and poor behavior, everyone is connected to God." ~Richard Carlson
"We live our lives as if they were one big emergency! We often rush around looking busy, trying to solve problems, but in reality, we are often compounding them.” ~Richard Carlson
"When our attention is in the present moment, we push fear from our minds. Practice keeping your attention on the here and now. Your efforts will pay great dividends." ~Richard Carlson
"When people act in unloving ways, it only means that they are out of touch with their Souls and aren't feeling spiritually nourished. When that happens, there is no need to panic. The best we can do for ourselves is nourish our own Soul by looking beyond the behavior we don't care for, thus practicing the art of love." ~Richard Carlson
