Negative emotions are like unwelcome guests. Just because they show up on our doorstep doesn't mean they have a right to stay.
No matter what the situation, remind yourself "I have a choice."
Because I always have a choice, I choose love.
Your very existence is evidence of your innate creativity. In every moment you are co-creating your reality through your thoughts, your intentions, your words and your actions.
Tune into the presence of miracles, and in an instant, life can be transformed into a dazzling experience, more wondrous and exciting than we could even imagine.
Every decision I make is a choice between a grievance and a miracle.
The love you feel in life is a reflection of the love you feel in yourself.
We need to go back to our relationship with nature and understand that those trees are our lungs. The earth is recycling as our body. The rivers are our circulation. This air is our breath. And the star stuff, the carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen that comes from distant galaxies is actually the molecules of your body.
Everything that is happening at this moment is a result of the choices you've made in the past.
When something seems to change in the world, the rishis said, it is really you that is changing.
My every thought has the power either to wound or heal. I will use my thoughts wisely and respect their power.
You give to the world your greatest gift when you're being yourself.
However good or bad you feel about your relationship, the person you are with at this moment is the "right" person, because he or she is the mirror of who you are inside.
If you have your full attention in the moment, you will see only love.
Success in life could be defined as the continued expansion of happiness and the progressive realization of worthy goals. Success is the ability to fulfill your desires with effortless ease. And yet success, including the creation of wealth, has always been considered to be a process that requires hard work and it is often considered to be at the expense of others. We need a more spiritual approach to success and to affluence which is the abundant flow of all good things to you.
Spiritually, no action is more important than surrender. Surrender is the tenderest impulse of the heart, acting out of love to give whatever the beloved wants. Surrender is being alert to exactly what is happening now, not imposing expectations from the past. Surrender is faith that the power of love can accomplish anything, even when you cannot foresee the outcome of a situation.
To define yourself is to limit yourself. Without labels you remain the infinite being.
An atom is a hierarchy of different states of information that define the statistical likelihood of finding a particle here or there at the time of observation.
Miracles happen every day. Not just in remote country villages or at holy sites halfway across the globe, but here, in our own lives.
The body is made up of atoms and subatomic particles that are moving at lightning speed around huge empty spaces and the body gives off fluctuations of energy and information in a huge void, so essentially your body is proportionately as void as intergalactic space, made out of nothing, but the nothing is actually the source of information and energy.
...once again we face a paradox, for it appears that softening your heart and gently tending its wounds will protect you from evil. Building a fortress and defending yourself behind it will only make you more vulnerable. Healing your own heart is the single most powerful thing you can do to change the world. Your own transformation will enable you to withdraw so completely from evil that you contribute to it by not one word, one thought, or one breath. This healing process is like recovering your soul.
Time exists so that you can experience these flavors as deeply as possible. On the path of devotion, if you can experience even a glimmer of love, it’s possible to experience a little more love. When you experience that a little more, then the next degree of intensity is possible. Thus, love engenders love until you reach the point of saturation, when you totally merge with the divine love. This is what the mystics mean when they say that they plunge into the ocean of love to drown themselves.
The purpose of life is the expansion of happiness.
