“Your creativity is waiting for you like a dancing partner.”

There is always a realistic way to fulfill any dream. There has never been a dream that you can’t have – at least, not the heart of it, not the part you love the most.

Now is the operative word. Everything you put in your way is just a method of putting off the hour when you could actually be doing your dream.

The first step is to find out what you love – and don’t be practical about it. The second step is to start doing what you love immediately, in any small way possible.

Happy people have two things in common. They know exactly what they want and they feel they’re moving toward getting it.

Every time you have to make a choice about anything, think Does this go toward or away from what I want? Always choose what goes toward what you want.

The cure for sorrow is to learn something.

What you’re really supposed to be doing is whatever makes your heart sing.

A direct statement about yourself is considered objective only if it is negative. If it’s positive, it is considered subjective. And ‘objective’ means it is accurate, and ‘subjective’ means it is conceited self-delusion.

Wishing and dreaming are the beginning of all human endeavor.

A good work is a partnership between you and nature… Nature will help you every step of the way.

Real Dreams don’t require you to abandon your family, quit your job, and move to Tahiti with your paintbrush. They just require that you search your soul for that deep dream you put aside-and go for it. And watch your life light up.

You don’t need endless time and perfect conditions. Do it now. Do it today. Do it for twenty minutes and watch your heart start beating.

It’s only too late if you don’t start now.

Imaginary obstacles are insurmountable. Real ones aren’t.

Isolation is a dream killer.

Doing is a quantum leap from imagining.

It’s important for me to be with a musician or someone who has a creative mind.

I’m quite happy with the music carrying on. I’ve never been one to clamor for fame. It just got dumped in my lap. The ambition is definitely not fame. The ambition is to be creative.

The hardest period for a writer is the period in-between writing. That’s when you can go crazy if you don’t allow the creative juices to flow.

All creative people have to have vulnerability because those nuances are what move people. So I’m deeply insecure – but I’m good at hiding it.

The big treasury is an ocean of infinite creativity. It’s a creativity that creates everything that is a thing – it’s mighty powerful creativity.

There is an ocean of creativity within every human being.

I guess now music is so saturated and so microwaved. It’s, like, 15 minutes in the microwave and boom, you’ve got something. Nobody’s putting passion or any thought behind it anymore.

I started Transcendental Meditation in 1973 and have not missed a single meditation ever since. Twice a day, every day. It has given me effortless access to unlimited reserves of energy, creativity and happiness deep within.
