If none of your role models provide the answer, then it is time to go within and ask yourself, “What would make me happy?” In other words, let your feelings guide you. This doesn’t work well if you focus narrowly on your personal needs.
BERNIE SIEGEL -
I am convinced that unconditional love is the most powerful known stimulant of the immune system.
BERNIE SIEGEL -
Remember that an act of love always benefits at least two people.
BERNIE SIEGEL -
Every time I jog through the world, I am awed by what I find. On a winter morning, when it seems too cold and slippery for safe jogging or bicycling, I can still go out and experience the glory of sunlight turning icy branches into strings of sparkling diamonds.
BERNIE SIEGEL -
The order of the words varies, but beer and ice are always two of the top four staples for sale. If we were all taking care of ourselves, wouldn’t the convenience stores compete for our dollars with signs that read “Fruit, Vegetables, Bread, Milk”?
BERNIE SIEGEL -
As one woman told me, “When I decided to come in to work happy, everybody around me became happy.” This woman had decided to quit a job she hated, and on the last day of her two weeks’ notice, she woke up happy.
BERNIE SIEGEL -
God wants us to know that life is a series of beginnings not endings. Just as graduations are not terminations but commencements. Creation is an ongoing process and when we create a perfect world where love and compassion are shared by all suffering will cease.
BERNIE SIEGEL -
It can be tempting to blame others for our loss of direction. We get lots of information about life but little education in life from parents, teachers, and other authority figures who should know better from their experience. Information is about facts.
BERNIE SIEGEL -
we are doing God’s work. So God dresses in Eskimo clothing or other disguises, and responds to us whether or not we are aware enough to hear, see, or feel God’s loving guidance. Everything is a tool of God, from DNA to the weather.
BERNIE SIEGEL -
Information doesn’t mean a thing to people without inspiration.
BERNIE SIEGEL -
When you embrace the mystery and open yourself to it, a new life is created, resistant to the old problems.
BERNIE SIEGEL -
If God came in and said, I want you to be happy for the rest of your life, what would you do?
BERNIE SIEGEL -
If you love people, you’ll enjoy your life. If you don’t, you won’t love anything you do.
BERNIE SIEGEL -
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.
BERNIE SIEGEL -
Don’t do things to not die, do things to enjoy living. The by-product may be not dying.
