I listened to a the wise words of Mooji (www.mooji.org) a few days ago.  The following are some of the tidbits I wrote down from his teaching:

• “Things” don’t have power in and of themselves.  We give them power.
• “Things” are only as important as we make them in our own mind.
• The power we give “things” comes from our identity in or to them not from our pure self.
• We notice only what the Mind is interested in.
• Fear comes from the mind…from the past.
• Discern whether your actions are coming from your mind or the heart.
• Do what keeps your heart in peace and serenity.

And finally:

• Let life show you its beauty and mysteries.  Nothing belongs to you and yet everything is yours!
