  • Don’t ask yourself what the world needs; ask yourself what makes you come alive. And then go and do that. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.
  • Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed people can change the world. Indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has.
  • We may not all live holy lives, but we live in a world alive with holy moments.

  • If a man is called to be a streetsweeper, he should sweep streets even as Michelangelo painted, or Beethoven composed music, or Shakespeare wrote poetry. He should sweep streets so well that all the hosts of heaven and earth will pause to say, here lived a great streetsweeper who did his job well.
  • Our greatness lies not so much in being able to remake the world…as in being able to remake ourselves.
  • Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we’ve been waiting for. We are the change that we seek.
    • ]]>     ~ Ayn Rand

  • What lies behind us and what lies before us are small matters compared to what lies within us.
  • Ask yourself whether the dream of heaven and greatness should be waiting for us in our graves – or whether it should be ours here and now and on this earth.
  • Correcting oneself is correcting the whole world. The sun is simply bright. It does not correct anyone. Because it shines, the whole world is full of light. Transforming yourself is a means of giving light to the whole world.

  • All life is a chance. So take it! The person who goes furthest is the one who is willing to do and dare.
  • Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending.
  • Each morning when I open my eyes I say to myself: “I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today, I can choose which it shall be. Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn’t arrived yet. I have just one day, today and I’m going to be happy in it.

  • Life is no brief candle to me. It is a sort of splendid torch, which I have got a hold of for the moment, and want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it onto future generations.
  • If you ask what is the single most important key to longevity, I would have to say it is avoiding worry, stress and tension. And if you didn’t ask me, I’d still have to say it.
  • There is only now and if now is only two days, then two days is your life and everything in it will be in proportion. This is how you live a life in two days. And if you stop complaining and asking for what you will never get, you will have a good life.

Decide you will always say and do only what you feel is right. Then, you will come to tremendous clarity and conviction in the inner and outer worlds. http://empoweredquotes.com/2009/11/02/swamiji-on-clarity/ http://empoweredquotes.com/2009/11/02/swamiji-on-clarity/#comments Mon, 02 Nov 2009 11:00:22 +0000 Quote Master http://empoweredquotes.com/2009/11/02/swamiji-on-clarity/
  • Feel what you want to give most as a gift, to your woman and to the world, and do what you can to give it today. Every moment waited is a moment wasted, and each wasted moment degrades your clarity of purpose.
  • Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don’t matter and those who matter don’t mind.
  • The indispensable first step to getting the things you want out of life is this: decide what you want.

  • ‘If only I had more money’ is the easiest way to postpone the intense self-examination and decision-making necessary to create a life of enjoyment – now and not later.
  • Success is a state of mind. If you want success, start thinking of yourself as a success.
  • Living Enlightenment is being intense in every moment and responding intuitively to achieve your limitless potential for creativity and joy.

  • Achievement seems to be connected with action. Successful men and women keep moving. They make mistakes, but they don’t quit.
  • Fulfillment is natural and not to be ashamed of. Ecstasy is a state of the soul transmitted through the body. Union consists of two people opening to the same Being
  • Life’s journey is not to arrive at the grave safely, in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting “Holy shit, what a ride!”

  • Conditions are never perfect. ‘Someday’ is a disease that will take your dreams to the grave with you. If it’s important to you and you want to do it ‘eventually’, just do it and correct course along the way.
  • The folly of mistaking a paradox for a discovery, a metaphor for a proof, a torrent of verbiage for a spring of capital truths, and oneself for an oracle, is inborn in us.
  • People are not lazy. They simply have goals that do not inspire them. Remember to follow you heart. What inspires you?
