“Your body loves you, but if you do not love your life, it will end it far sooner, thinking it is doing you a favor.”

To paraphrase something the anthropologist Ashley Montagu once said, the way I change my life is to act as if I’m the person I want to be. This is, to me, the simplest, wisest advice you can give anyone.

I know patients who bring a dozen roses to the doctor’s office. And, boy, the next visit, nobody forgets that. You come in and hey – ‘Here’s the lady who brought the roses’ vs. ‘Here’s the lung cancer.’

I believe consciousness is non-local and a big part of what we experience with near death and past lives.

Sometimes our behavior with each other is no different from the cry of an unattended baby.

I believe that we are here to contribute love to the planet – each of us in our own way

At the end of the day, she noticed that everybody around her was happy, too- so she didn’t quit after all. She decided to come to work happy instead. Two years later, she’s still on the job, radiating happiness and love.

Medicine is a very tough thing. I mean, everyone is going to die. Sooner or later. That’s a tough thing to face.

The #1 problem most patients face is the inability to love themselves

Inspiration is the greatest gift because it opens your life to many new possibilities.

It is astounding how much the immune system is strengthened by reducing daily mental stress levels with either visualization or meditation.

Studies of volunteers have shown there is a benefit to performing acts of love for other people.

Doctors are busy playing God when so few of us have the qualifications. And besides, the job is taken.

Thoughts are chemical. They can either kill us or cure us.

If you love people, you’ll enjoy your life. If you don’t, you won’t love anything you do.

If a person can turn from predicting illness to anticipating recovery, the foundation for cure is laid.

True inspiration overrides all fears. When you are inspired, you enter a trance state and can accomplish things that you may never have felt capable of doing.

I think it doesn’t matter if you are the best surfer in the world. I’m going to try to be the best surfer I can be. It’s not all about competing and being the best. It’s more about having fun and just doing what you love.

Remember this: Now is the only time you have. When God created the universe, it was now. You can’t say to creation and energy, “I’ll do it later, not now.” Later doesn’t exist. Creation doesn’t know anything but now.

Whenever you get around to doing what you want to do, it will be now. The things you need to do to live a happier, more fulfilling life-the only time you can possible start doing them is now.

I suppose I am proud of what has gone on, after all I only ever wanted to play the guitar for a living, and that is what I am still doing.

Nobody can hinder you from doing what you want, if that’s what you set your mind to. You can always find a hook to hang excuses on, but they’re only excuses. You don’t have anyone to blame but yourself. Nobody else makes you fail.

I’ve learned to ask people, “You’re doing very well so what are you doing? Let me tell other people.” So what’s made me who I am, my experience.
