“If you listen to your soul you will know what is “best” for you, because what is best for you is what is true for you.”

What is needed is not a change of circumstance, but a change of consciousness.

See the world with the innocence of children. Approach the world with the daring of children. Love the world with the readiness of children. Heal the world with the purity of children. Change the world with the wisdom of children.

The secret of life is not to have everything you want, but to want everything you have.

Open your mind, allow your feelings to be expressed, to be pushed out, and your heart will neither break nor burst, but be a free-flowing channel of the life energy in your soul.

The best things in life are free. And it is important never to lose sight of that. So look around you. Wherever you see friendship, loyalty, laughter, and love there is your treasure.

Your soul doesn’t care what you do for a living – and when your life is over, neither will you. Your soul cares only about what you are being while you are doing whatever you are doing.

So long as you are still worried about what others think of you, you are owned by them. Only when you require no approval from outside yourself can you own yourself.

When you give your children knowledge, you are telling them what to think. When you give your children wisdom, you do not tell them what to know, or what is true, but rather, how to get to their own truth.

The more that you act on your intuition fearlessly, the more your intuition will serve you. Intuition is the ear of the soul.

Healing is the process of accepting all, then choosing best.

The point of life is not to get anywhere-it is to notice that you are, and have always been, already there.

Life is not about win-and-lose. Life is about being or not being, expressing or not expressing, who you are.

Mastery is not measured by the number of terrible things you eliminate from your life, but by the number of times you eliminate calling them terrible.

If there is some aspect of creation you find you do not enjoy, bless it and simply change it. Choose again. Call forth a new reality. Think a new thought. Say a new word. Do a new thing.

Glorify who you are today, do not condemn who you were yesterday, and dream of who you can be tomorrow.

Be a bringer of the Light. For your light can do more than illuminate your own path, you can be the light which truly lights the world.

Example, not precept, is the best teaching aid.

Being a good example is the best form of service.

Perform your job better than anyone else can. That’s the best job security I know.

I think a woman looks best in a sari.

But when we look for the good in others, we start to see the best in ourselves too.

Pretty girls behave best when you ignore them. Of course, they have to know you are ignoring them, for otherwise they may not even know you exist.

It takes years of practice to become a World No. 1 or 2.

I didn’t think I would have an Olympic medal at 21, but I knew I would give my best and play my game. I just viewed it as my first Olympics and that I would take it one match at a time, but to bring a silver home made me very, very happy.
