Happiness is a function of accepting what is.
Just like the front and the back of the hand, being and action are distinct yet inseparable.
So long as you do not know who you really are, this will be difficult. You may have to give up a lot of things to which you may be attached. You may have to give up your resentments, your anger, your upset, your annoyance, your desire to punish.
Here’s my definition of a hero. A hero is an ordinary person given being and action by something bigger than themselves. One thing I’m sure about is I’m real ordinary. Yet I’ve had the chance to touch the lives of a lotta people.
There are only two things in the world: nothing and semantics.
Until what is significant is created by you, you aren’t living your life, you are living some inherited life.
The reaction you got was the communication you intended.
If you keep saying it the way it really is, eventually your word is law in the universe.
Until you know that who you are is empty and meaningless, you don’t know anything.
In life, understanding is the booby prize.
What I recognized is that you can’t put it together. It’s already together, and what you have to do is experience it being together.
Living is not the story of your life. Living is the process of experiencing right now.
What gives people superiority at a task is true intention. That makes you attuned to everything.
The only two things in our lives are aliveness and patterns that block our aliveness.
Life is already together, and what you have to experience is experiencing it being together. The striving to put it together is a denial of the truth that it is actually already together and further striving keeps you from getting it together.
We distinguish integrity as a phenomenon of the objective state or condition of an object, system, person, group, or organizational entity, and define integrity as: a state or condition of being whole, complete, unbroken, unimpaired, sound, perfect condition.
Ride the horse in the direction that it’s going.
To take a stand for the future is to bring forth an opportunity not borne of the path we’ve taken in the past, but borne of a vision which we would create for ourselves.
While most managers spend their time attempting to predict the future accurately – and while that’s valuable – the best managers are able to generate a future which was not going to happen otherwise – that is, a future which was not predictable.
Your life works to the degree you keep your agreements.
