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

Life is the coexistence of all opposite values. Joy and sorrow, pleasure and pain, up and down, hot and cold, here and there, light and darkness, birth and death. All experience is by contrast, and one would be meaningless without the other.

If you have your full attention in the moment, you will see only love.

No matter what the situation, remind yourself “I have a choice.”

Now is the moment that never ends.

Meditation is not a way of making your mind quiet. It is a way of entering into the quiet that is already there – buried under the 50,000 thoughts the average person thinks every day.

There is a light within each of us that can never be diminished or extinguished. It can only be obscured by forgetting who we are

The Universe contains three things that cannot be destroyed; Being, Awareness and LOVE.

What you pay attention to grows. If your attention is attracted to negative situations and emotions, then they will grow in your awareness.

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.

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

When you have read the Bible, you will know it is the word of God, because you will have found it the key to your own heart, your own happiness and your own duty.

In the family, happiness is in the ratio in which each is serving the others, seeking one another’s good, and bearing one another’s burdens.

A world without a Sabbath would be like a man without a smile, like summer without flowers, and like a homestead without a garden. It is the most joyous day of the week.

If I am able to carry on modeling, I’ll be very happy to, but my passion is definitely in music and acting. I would love to do what Meryl Streep is doing. Her or Judi Dench, or maybe Charlize Theron as well.

The art of being happy lies in the power of extracting happiness from common things.

But, if I sample this pleasure so prudently and circumspectly, it will no longer be a pleasure.

I guess for my skin, I clean it and moisturize and try to drink water. How boring is this though? I’m convinced that it comes from within. If you’re happy and healthy, it shows.

People happy in love have an air of intensity.
