I love how Mother Theresa said she wouldn’t attend an anti-war rally but if there was a peace rally to call her. So I realized it’s not about waging a war against everybody’s disease and diagnosis but rather about helping them live.

BERNIE SIEGELDoctors are busy playing God when so few of us have the qualifications. And besides, the job is taken.
BERNIE SIEGELwe 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 SIEGELYou are in charge of your thoughts and feelings. If you are willing to search for the reason that you can’t let go of disturbing thoughts, you can learn about yourself and restore your own peace of mind.
BERNIE SIEGELThose who look on the world with love will need a handkerchief, not to use as a blindfold, but to blow their nose and dry their tears.
BERNIE SIEGELWe are here to feel, wonder and gaze in awe at the world. Instead of just teaching our children how to use things and do things, I suggest we nourish their sense of wonder.
BERNIE SIEGELTraditional doctors say I’m a mystic. I don’t deny it.
BERNIE SIEGELRefusal to hope is nothing more than a decision to die.
BERNIE SIEGELYou cannot fail at being yourself. A cat doesn’t try to be a tiger, and you shouldn’t try to be something you aren’t. You are a process, not a product. Your job is to discover what you are and create that creature.
BERNIE SIEGELMedicine is a very tough thing. I mean, everyone is going to die. Sooner or later. That’s a tough thing to face.
BERNIE SIEGELWhat a shame to be so afraid of failure that you stop living. My wife has a great one-liner about failure: “Never consider yourself a failure-you can always serve as a bad example.” She is right. Failure can be a better teacher than success.
BERNIE SIEGELHow will you know whether you are letting life teach you and nourish you? If your physical senses become more sensitive to the beauty you see.
BERNIE SIEGELMiracles and angels are a part of our lives, so anticipate them and tune in through your quiet mind.
BERNIE SIEGELDo not be afraid to close your eyes and be silent in prayer, meditation, rest or sleep. In those states you may rediscover a new self. Then your life, time and thoughts will become yours again and you can live your unique myth.
BERNIE SIEGELRemember 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.
BERNIE SIEGELBy relaxation, I don’t mean falling asleep in front of the TV set or unwinding with friends. The kind I’m talking about is a quieting of mental activity and withdrawal of body and mind from external stimulation.
