  • 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 are alive.
  • 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.
  • It is better to live your own destiny imperfectly than to live an imitation of someone elses life with perfection.

  • Life is what happens to you while you’re busy making other plans.
  • Life is just a quick succession of busy nothings.
  • “I keep the telephone of my mind open to peace, harmony, health, love, and abundance. Then, whenever doubt, anxiety, or fear try to call me, they will keep getting a busy signal-and soon they’ll forget my number.”

  • Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.
  • Wealth is the ability to fully experience life.
  • As you simplify your life, the laws of the universe will be simpler; solitude will not be solitude, poverty will not be poverty, nor weakness weakness.

  • What gets measured, gets done. What gets rewarded, gets done well.

To be happy for no reason is the happiness you want to experience. http://empoweredquotes.com/2009/01/07/be-happy-for-no-reason/ http://empoweredquotes.com/2009/01/07/be-happy-for-no-reason/#comments Wed, 07 Jan 2009 15:37:02 +0000 Quote Master http://empoweredquotes.com/2009/01/07/be-happy-for-no-reason/
  • I believe that the very purpose of life is to be happy. From the very core of our being, we desire contentment. In my own limited experience I have found that the more we care for the happiness of others, the greater is our own sense of well-being. Cultivating a close, warmhearted feeling for others automatically puts the mind at ease. It helps remove whatever fears or insecurities we may have and gives us the strength to cope with any obstacles we encounter. It is the principal source of success in life. Since we are not solely material creatures, it is a mistake to place all our hopes for happiness on external development alone. The key is to develop inner peace.
  • All misery derives from the inability to sit in a quiet room alone.
  • Happy people continuously change; and because they change they become more and more happy; and then more and more change is possible
    • ]]>     ~ Vedanta teachings

  • 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.
  • The more praise and celebration in your life, the more there is in life to celebrate.
  • Don’t keep thinking of what happened yesterday and what is going to happen tomorrow. Live in the moment and every situation will seem like the time of your life.

  • Happiness is not a situation to be longed for, or a convergence of lucky happenstance. Through the power of our own minds, we can help ourselves.
  • …With forgiveness, your victim identity dissolves, and your true power emerges – the power of presence. Instead of blaming the darkness you bring in the light.
  • Happiness for a reason is a form of misery because the reason can be taken away from you at any time. To be happy for no reason is the happiness you want to experience.

  • When it comes to love, you need not fall but rather surrender, surrender to the idea that you must love yourself before you can love another. You must absolutely trust yourself before you can absolutely trust another and most importantly you must accept your flaws before you can accept the flaws of another.
  • When you are content to be simply yourself and don’t compare or compete, everybody will respect you.
  • When a question is posed ceremoniously, the universe responds.
