Journey Through Life

As I go through all kinds of feelings and experiences in my journey through life -- delight, surprise, chagrin, dismay -- I hold this question as a guiding light: "What do I really need right now to be happy?" What I come to over and over again is that only qualities as vast and deep as love, connection and kindness will really make me happy in any sort of enduring way.

Sharon Salzberg

A Wise Man

The best and safest thing is to keep a balance in your life, acknowledge the great powers around us and in us. If you can do that, and live that way, you are really a wise man.

Euripides

Simple

Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.

Confucius

Living Up to Your Full Potential?

A sobering thought: what if, at this very moment, I am living up to my full potential?

Jane Wagner

Essence of Life

Energy is the essence of life. Every day you decide how you’re going to use it by knowing what you want and what it takes to reach that goal, and by maintaining focus.

Master Your Thoughts

How can you master your thoughts? Be the guardian of your mind; be the gatekeeper. As of this moment on, never allow a single thought that you don’’t want to happen. Always have positive and optimistic thoughts. Keep the negative, limiting and self-sabotaging thoughts out. You are the gatekeeper, so keep those sabotaging, stuck-state thoughts out of your mind and out of your life.

Challenges

Only as a warrior can one withstand the path of knowledge. A warrior cannot complain or regret anything. His life is an endless challenge, and challenges cannot possibly be good or bad. Challenges are simply challenges.

Carlos Castaneda

The Best Moment

The best pair in the world is smile and cry. They won’t meet each other at a time. If they meet, that is the best moment in your life.

We Have Lost the Way

We Are All Met to Shine!

I Become...

When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be. 

Lao Tzu

Anyone Can...

Anyone can carry his burden, however hard, until nightfall. Anyone can do his work, however hard, for one day. Anyone can live sweetly, patiently, lovingly, purely, till the sun goes down. And this is all life really means.

Robert Louis Stevenson

Your Story

The way you talk about yourself and your life—your story—has a great deal to do with what shows up in your day-to-day experience. Your thoughts create filters through which you view your life. If you think of yourself as a Victim, you filter all that happens to you through the lens of DDT, and you find plenty of evidence to support that viewpoint. That’s why the orientation you adopt is so important: it exerts a powerful influence on your life direction.

True Healing

True healing comes from owning and accepting all of life’s energies within ourselves….When they are allowed to be expressed, they take their places as important facets of our nature. There is no split between ‘good’ and ‘bad.’

Shakti Gawain

The Flow

The universe is unfolding perfectly. I don't have to hang on. I can relax and let go. I can go with the flow.


Gawain, Shakti

Life

By allowing humor into your life, you are opening up your mind to learning. Humor outwits the conditioned mind; it forces us to think- to contemplate.

There Are No Rules

You can change or stay the same. There are no rules to this thing. You can make the best of it or the worst of it.

A Sacred Journey

Your life is a sacred journey. And it is about change, growth, discovery, movement, transformation, continuously expanding your vision of what is possible, stretching your soul, learning to see clearly and deeply, listening to your intuition, taking courageous challenges at every step along the way. You are on the path…… exactly where you are meant to be right now…… And from here, you can only go forward, shaping your life story into a magnificent tale of triumph, of healing, of courage, of beauty, of wisdom, of power, of dignity, and of love.

Caroline Adams

I Shall Never Pass This Way Again

I shall pass through this life but once. Any good therefore that I can do, let me do it now. Let me not defer or neglect it. For I shall never pass this way again.

Etienne de Grellet

Live Your Life

We are our own individuals so we can make the changes we need in our life, to live our life the way we want to. This is our life, our body, our mind, and our heart. We do what we want with it since we own it, don't let anyone tell you different. Live your life, it's yours.
