“In every failure lies the seeds of success.”

The purpose of life is the expansion of happiness.

The next thing you think, the next action you take, will either create a new possibility for you, or it will repeat the past.

Change your story, change your life. Basically, that’s what it is.

You alone are the judge of your worth and your goal is to discover infinite worth in yourself, no matter what anyone else thinks.

It’s hard enough to change ourselves. We can’t expect other people to change so that we feel better. We have to take the journey ourselves.

The person you call an enemy is an exaggerated aspect of your own shadow self.

I teach people that no matter what the situation is, no matter how chaotic, no matter how much drama is around you, you can heal by your presence if you just stay within your center.

The key to lasting happiness is to stop looking for it, and to know that you already have it.

To acquire true self power you have to feel beneath no one, be immune to criticism and be fearless.

If you restore balance in your own self, you will be contributing immensely to the healing of the world.

Every time you are tempted to react in the same old way, ask if you want to be a prisoner of the past or a pioneer of the future.

Meditation is a vital way to purify and quiet the mind, thus rejuvenating the body.

When you meet someone, you can silently send them a blessing, wishing them happiness, joy and laughter. This kind of silent giving is very powerful.

In the process of letting go you will lose many things from the past, but you will find yourself.

The universe has much bigger plans for you than you ever dreamed of for yourself.

I have no responsibility to live up to what others expect of me. That’s their mistake, not my failing.

The price of being close to the President is delivering bad news. You fail him if you don’t tell him the truth. Others won’t do it.

The reason most people fail instead of succeed is they trade what they want most for what they want at the moment.

Try and fail, but don’t fail to try.

I don’t know the key to success, but the key to failure is trying to please everybody.

You have no responsibility to live up to what other people think you ought to accomplish. I have no responsibility to be like they expect me to be. It’s their mistake, not my failing.

But as I’ve said, failure is a feeling long before it’s an actual result. And for me, it felt like that’s exactly what she was planting—a suggestion of failure long before I’d even tried to succeed.

The only meaningful measure for a leader is whether the team succeeds or fails.
