If you can't accept losing, you can't win.
I want to know God's thoughts... the rest are details.
Do not follow the ideas of others,
but learn to listen to the voice within yourself.
Your body and mind will become clear and
you will realize the unity of all things.
First you try to meditate and after a while you become meditative.
Live simply so that others may simply live. Its a nice idea, but our lives are more complicated and complex than ever. What can you simplify today - your desk, perhaps your thoughts, a meeting? Simple means easy. Simple means asking, "Is this really necessary?" Simple means keeping it short but sweet. Simple means keeping the focus of your attention on what you need to do now. Todays mantra is, "lets keep it simple."
Some people believe that holding on and hanging in there are signs of great strength.
However, there are times when it takes much more strength to know when to let go -- and then do it.
We must use time creatively.
The basis of success is to use your time, breath and thoughts in a worthwhile way.
However vague they are, dreams have a way of concealing themselves and leave us no peace until they are translated into reality, like seeds germinating underground, sure to sprout in their search for the sunlight.
I make it a point to write something every day, even if it's only to myself. In fact, it is mostly to myself. How else do I get to know me? And how else do I get to know what I know until I hear what I have to say? The most important conversation in all our worlds is with ourselves. One way to converse is to take two words and then let your mind flow into them, around them and through them, and then out through your pen on to a blank white page. It doesn't matter what comes -but be sure that you will reveal yourself to yourself, and if you keep doing it I can guarantee you will be astounded by revelation. Start your journal today.
There is almost no area of human life today that is not touched by the effects of science and technology. Yet are we clear about the place of science in the totality of human life - what exactly it should do and by what it should be governed? This last point is critical because unless the direction of science is guided by a consciously ethical motivation, especially compassion, its effects may fail to bring benefit.
When a friend is in trouble, dont annoy him by asking if there is anything you can do. Think up something appropriate and do it.
Those who really seek the path to Enlightenment dictate terms to their mind. Then they proceed with strong determination.
It should be possible to explain the laws of physics to a barmaid.
Pleasure in the job puts perfection in the work.
