‘I’m bored’ is a useless thing to say. I mean, you live in a great, big, vast world that you’ve seen none percent of. Even the inside of your own mind is endless; it goes on forever, inwardly, do you understand? The fact that you’re alive is amazing, so you don’t get to say ‘I’m bored.’
Very little is needed to make a happy life; it is all within yourself, in your way of thinking.
Reject your sense of injury and the injury itself disappears.
The best day of your life is the one on which you decide your life is your own. No apologies or excuses. No one to lean on, rely on, or blame. The gift is yours – it is an amazing journey – and you alone are responsible for the quality of it. This is the day your life really begins.
The optimist sees the rose and not its thorns; the pessimist stares at the thorns, oblivious to the rose.
Your assumptions are your windows on the world. Scrub them off every once in a while, or the light won’t come in.
Don’t let a mad world tell you that success is anything other than a successful present moment.
The greatest weapon against stress is our ability to choose one thought over another.
The cosmos is within us. We are made of star-stuff. We are a way for the universe to know itself.
We find that we live on an insignificant planet of a humdrum star lost in a galaxy tucked away in some forgotten corner of a universe in which there are far more galaxies than people.
If there is no solution to the problem then don’t waste time worrying about it. If there is a solution to the problem then don’t waste time worrying about it.
I know for sure that what we dwell on is who we become.
The way we see the problem is the problem.
You can’t control everything. Sometimes you just need to relax and have faith that things will work out. Let go a little and just let life happen.
There is no truth. There is only perception.
Life is 10 percent what happens to you and ninety percent how you respond to it.
If you ever start taking things too seriously, just remember that we are talking monkeys on an organic spaceship flying through the universe.
Once your mindset changes, everything on the outside will change along with it.
It’s just a ride.
With every experience, you alone are painting your own canvas, thought by thought, choice by choice.
