“The quality of one’s life depends on the quality of attention. Whatever you pay attention to will grow more important in your life. There is no limit to the kinds of changes that awareness can produce.”

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.

In our imaginations we believe that love is apart from us. Actually there is nothing but love, once we are ready to accept it. When you truly find love, you find yourself.

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.

However good or bad you feel about your relationship, the person you are with at this moment is the “right” person, because he or she is the mirror of who you are inside.

Thinking happy thoughts literally creates a positive chemical change in the brain which stimulates both positive physical and psychological benefits.

The way you think, the way you behave, the way you eat, can influence your life by 30 to 50 years.

When you live your life with an appreciation of coincidences and their meanings, you connect with the underlying field of infinite possibilities.

I’m here today to warn you: I want you to watch out for the adversary. Guard yourself from any spirit of entitlement. Restrain any and all subtle temptation to gain attention or to find ways to promote yourself.

Monks understand that routine frees your mind, but the biggest threat to that freedom is monotony. People complain about their poor memories, but I’ve heard it said that we don’t have a retention problem, we have an attention problem.

You are worth the attention and devotion they’re not giving you.

God sends signs, and if you pay attention in the moment you can catch them.

Do not give your attention to what others do or fail to do; give it to what you do or fail to do.

Authentic men aren’t afraid to show affection, release their feelings, hug their children, cry when they’re sad, admit it when they’re wrong, and ask for help when they need it.

Whatever you put attention on will start manifesting in your life. Intention, attention, manifestation; that is how the universe works.

I love dressing up, and I’m aware that people do say that it can take your attention away from the game. But I disagree with this notion!
