“Life is a field of unlimited possibilities.”

Feel the world, instead of trying to understand the world.

Know that people are doing the best they can from their level of awareness. Accept people for who they are and always be ready to forgive.

People are doing the best that they can from their own level of consciousness.

First, say to yourself, ‘I’m totally independent of the good or bad opinions of others.’ Second: ‘I’m beneath no one.’ Third: ‘I’m fearless in the face of any and all challenges.’

The Higher Self is whispering to you softly in the silence between your thoughts.

There are no extra pieces in the universe. Everyone is here because he or she has a place to fill, and every piece must fit itself into the big jigsaw puzzle.

In my stillness I am the eternal possibility. In my movement I am the cosmos.

The ultimate goal of all goals is to be happy. If you want to be happy make someone else happy.

The three things you can offer your children to change them: attention, appreciation and affection.

Start by thinking of the smallest possible action you could take; then, take it. Then, choose the next smallest action, and do that.

The world “out there” won’t change until the world “in here” does.

Love without action is meaningless and action without love is irrelevant.

Take responsibility for your last bad decision, and then let it go. Don’t blame others or make excuses for yourself.

Before making a decision, ask inside for guidance. Be patient and await an answer. Act only when you feel calm and certain.

Be happy for no reason, like a child. If you are happy for a reason, you’re in trouble, because that reason can be taken from you.

Once you know who you really are, being is enough. You feel neither superior to anyone nor inferior to anyone and you have no need for approval because you’ve awakened to your own infinite worth.

For out of old fields, as men saith, Cometh all this new corn from year to year; And out of old books, in good faith, Cometh all this new science that men learn.

That field hath eyen, and the wood hath ears.

The fields have eyes, and the woods have ears.

On the field, you come into sync with your teammates and coaches and together you achieve something that you could never do on your own.

As an athlete, when you are on that field and the fans get really engaged and you can feel their energy and passion and true love of the game, it is absolutely a spiritual experience.

The idea of losing the three at Hayward Field and the idea of losing my specialty to someone who wasn’t running his specialty. Mostly, the idea of losing in front of my people. They haven’t forgotten about me.

No one will ever win a 5,000-meter by running an easy two miles. Not against me.

Being over seventy is like being engaged in a war. All our friends are going or gone and we survive amongst the dead and the dying as on a battlefield.
