No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.
Live quietly in the moment and see the beauty of all before you. The future will take care of itself.
Don’t be satisfied with stories, how things have gone with others. Unfold your own myth.
To heal is to touch with love that which we previously touched with fear.
Loving yourself isn’t vanity. It’s sanity.
To fall in love with yourself is the first secret to happiness.
The light is thine, O man, to inherit. Cast off the darkness and travel the path.
The mind is everything. What you think, you become.
The human being is the architect of their own destiny, and through self-discipline and understanding, they can achieve the highest ideals.
Seek ye within the flame of the essence of thy soul, find the knowledge that is within thee and be free.
The wound is the place where the Light enters you.
Every step taken in mindfulness brings us one step closer to healing ourselves and the planet.
You have been criticizing yourself for years, and it hasn’t worked. Try approving of yourself and see what happens.
A person’s dignity lies in their ability to align their actions with universal laws, to become a microcosm reflecting the divine macrocosm.
Self-worth comes from one thing – thinking that you are worthy.
Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.
The season of failure is the best time for sowing the seeds of success.
Healing is a matter of time, but it is sometimes also a matter of opportunity.
Man is only what he believeth, a brother of darkness or a child of the Light.
I am not what has happened to me. I am what I choose to become.
Be as simple as you can be; you will be astonished to see how uncomplicated and happy your life can become.
To keep the body in good health is a duty… otherwise we shall not be able to keep our mind strong and clear.
Sometimes healing comes in unexpected ways, through unexpected people, in unexpected forms.
Healing is a matter of time, but it is sometimes also a matter of opportunity.
