It is a funny thing about life; if you refuse to accept anything but the best, you very often get it.

Somerset Maugham

Stop freewheeling, get into gear, and do something with your life. There are so many avenues to explore, so why not explore them? Never be afraid to step into the unknown, into the new. Do it fearlessly, always expecting the very best as you do so.

Eileen Caddy

Everything is out there waiting for you. All you have to do is walk up and declare yourself in. No need for permission. You just need courage to say, "Include me". Providing you have the energy to pull it off you can do what you like. And the Universal Law, being impartial, will be only too delighted to deliver.

Stuart Wilde

The rich substance of the Universe is yours to do with as you wish. Why settle for so little in life when you can have so much, just be daring to be different in your thinking.

Catherine Ponder

When you die and go to heaven our Maker is not going to ask, "Why did you not discover the cure for such and such? Why did you not become the Messiah?" The only question we will be asked in that precious moment is "Why did you not become you?"

Elie Wiesel

People who deliberate fully before they take a step will spend their lives on one leg.

Anthony de Mello

If you must begin then go all the way, because if you begin and quit the unfinished business you have left behind will haunt you for all of time. The path is like getting onto a train that you cannot get off. You ride on and on.

Trungpa Rinpoche

It is not because things are difficult that we do not dare; It is because we do not dare that they are difficult.

Seneca

Every man takes the limits of his own field of vision, for the limits of the world.

Arthur Schopenhauer

What would it be like if you lived each day, each breath, as a work of art in progress? Imagine that you are a Masterpiece unfolding, every second of every day a work of art taking form with every breath.

Thomas Crum

Until thought is linked with purpose, there is no intelligent accomplishment. With the majority, the bark of thought is allowed to drift upon the ocean of life. A man should conceive of a legitimate purpose in his heart, and set out to accomplish it.

James Allen

Each time you complete an act of creation, you focus a life force. And since life begets life, this energy seeks to enlarge its expression through new creation. In the stage of completion, your being is ready for another act of creation.

Robert Fritz

It is the greatest of all mistakes to do nothing because you can only do a little. Do what you can.

Sydney Smith

Life was never meant to be a struggle just a gentle progression from one point to another, much like walking through a valley on a sunny day.

Stuart Wilde

Be gentle with yourself. If you will not be your own unconditional friend, who will be? If you are playing an opponent and you are also opposing yourself - you are going to be outnumbered.

Dan Millman

I learned that nothing is impossible when we follow our inner guidance, even when the direction may threaten us by reversing our usual logic.

Gerald Jampolsky

Most decisions, possibly all, have already been made on some deeper level and my going through a reasoning process to arrive at them seems at least redundant. The question, "What do I want to do?" may be a fearful reaction to the subconscious decision I have already made.

Hugh Prather

We are all on a spiral path. No growth takes place in a straight line. There will be setbacks along the way...There will be shadows, but they will be balanced by patches of light and fountains of joy as we grow and progress. Awareness of the pattern is all you need to sustain you along the way...

Kristin Zambucka

Be willing to do what your soul directs you to do if you want to create what you are asking for.

Sanyana Roman

In a world where death is the hunter, my friend, there is no time for regrets or doubts. There is only time for decisions.

Carlos Castaneda

You have got to know what it is you want! Or someone is going to sell you a bill of goods somewhere along the line that will do irreparable damage to your self-esteem, your sense of worth, and your stewardship of talents that God gave you.

Richard Nelson Bolles

Be realistic: Plan for a miracle.


Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh

Aerodynamically the bumble bee should not be able to fly, but the bumble bee does not know it so it goes on flying anyway.

Mary Kay Ash

There are always two ways of spreading light:
to be the candle or the mirror that reflects it.


Edith Wharton

Life is a series of moments.
To live each one is to succeed.
