David DeidaDavid Deida Infinite Love is who we really are and who we refuse to be. This refusal is our most essential tension.
David DeidaDavid Deida Every moment of your life is either a test or a celebration.
David DeidaDavid Deida Chronic dissatisfaction is how you sense that you are living a lie.
David DeidaDavid Deida We must see that we are afraid of the thing we most desire, and so we live a mediocre life, never bringing to consummation the primary impulse of our heart.
David DeidaDavid Deida A fearful man who knows he is fearful is far more trustable than a fearful man who isn’t aware of his fear.
