You must live in the present, launch yourself on every wave, find your eternity in each moment. Fools stand on their island of opportunities and look toward another land. There is no other land; there is no other life but this.
Real integrity is doing the right thing, knowing that nobody’s going to know whether you did it or not.
Letting go gives us freedom, and freedom is the only condition for happiness. If, in our heart, we still cling to anything – anger, anxiety, or possessions – we cannot be free.
No work is insignificant. All labor that uplifts humanity has dignity and importance and should be undertaken with painstaking excellence.
A good head and a good heart are always a formidable combination.
You must take personal responsibility. You cannot change the circumstances, the seasons, or the wind, but you can change yourself.
We reap what we sow. We are the makers of our own fate. The wind is blowing; those vessels whose sails are unfurled catch it, and go forward on their way, but those which have their sails furled do not catch the wind. Is that the fault of the wind? We make our own destiny.
I used my pain to push me to greatness.
A leader is one who knows the way, goes the way, and shows the way.
Difficulties in your life do not come to destroy you, but to help you realise your hidden potential and power, let difficulties know that you too are difficult.
When you visualize, then you materialize.
The best investment you can make is in yourself.
When people walk away from you, let them go. Your destiny is never tied to anyone who leaves you, and it doesn’t mean they are bad people. It just means that their part in your story is over.
To be beautiful means to be yourself. You don’t need to be accepted by others. You need to accept yourself.
The Universe favors the brave. When you resolve to lift your life to its highest level, the strength of your soul will guide you to a magical place with magnificent treasures.
The Four Agreements 1. Be impeccable with your word. 2. Don’t take anything personally. 3. Don’t make assumptions. 4. Always do your best.
Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive and go do it. Because what the world needs is more people who have come alive.
It is not the mountain we conquer but ourselves.
Do not let your difficulties fill you with anxiety, after all it is only in the darkest nights that stars shine more brightly.
One child, one teacher, one book, one pen can change the world.
