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.

BERNIE SIEGEL -
There’s very little that shocks me because I consider life a miracle so I guess what shocks me is that life exists. How the hell did we get here? What shocks me is that bacteria alter their genes and resist antibiotics and viruses resist vaccines.
BERNIE SIEGEL -
I learned to say, “You didn’t die when you were supposed to so what’s going on?”, and they always had a story to tell me.
BERNIE SIEGEL -
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.
BERNIE SIEGEL -
People have taught me what most doctors don’t learn, in other words, when somebody does better than expected, the doctor will tell them they’re doing very well and to keep it up.
BERNIE SIEGEL -
At that time, they grow up, stop feeling loved, become depressed and start thinking-and what they are thinking about worries me.
