Deepak Chopra is one of the leading mind-body spirit teachers of our time. He teaches the benefits of incorporating meditation and a healthy lifestyle for increasing inner happiness.
1. “When you live your life with an appreciation of coincidences and their meanings, you connect with the underlying field of infinite possibilities.”
2. “Every person is a God in embryo. Its only desire is to be born.”
3. “You and I are essentially infinite choice-makers. In every moment of our existence, we are in that field of all possibilities where we have access to an infinity of choices.”
4. “If you and I are having a single thought of violence or hatred against anyone in the world at this moment, we are contributing to the wounding of the world.”
5. “In the midst of movement and chaos, keep stillness inside of you.”
6. “The less you open your heart to others, the more your heart suffers.”
7. “The way you think, the way you behave, the way you eat, can influence your life by 30 to 50 years.”
8. “Whatever relationships you have attracted in your life at this moment, are precisely the ones you need in your life at this moment. There is a hidden meaning behind all events, and this hidden meaning is serving your own evolution.”
9. “If you want to reach a state of bliss, then go beyond your ego and the internal dialogue. Make a decision to relinquish the need to control, the need to be approved, and the need to judge. Those are the three things the ego is doing all the time. It’s very important to be aware of them every time they come up.”
10. “Happiness is a continuation of happenings which are not resisted.”
11. “The physical world, including our bodies, is a response of the observer. We create our bodies as we create the experience of our world.”
12. “The possibility of stepping into a higher plane is quite real for everyone. It requires no force or effort or sacrifice. It involves little more than changing our ideas about what is normal.”
13. “Uncertainty is the fertile ground of pure creativity and freedom.”
14. “The reality you experience is a mirror image of your expectations.”
15. “Even when you think you have your life all mapped out, things happen that shape your destiny in ways you might never have imagined.”
16. “To have passion, to have a dream, to have a purpose in life. And there are three components to that purpose, one is to find out who you really are, to discover God, the second is to serve other human beings, because we are here to do that and the third is to express your unique talents and when you are expressing your unique talents you lose track of time.”
17. “This is the nature of genius, to be able to grasp the knowable even when noone else recognizes that it is present.”
18. “Miracles happen every day. Not just in remote country villages or at holy sites halfway across the globe, but here, in our own lives.”
19. “Love doesn’t need reason. It speaks from the irrational wisdom of the heart.”
20. “Your life can only be as free as your perception of it.”
21. “Signals from spirit all serve the same purpose; to give you back your life as a creator.”
22. “As long as you’re giving, you will be receiving.”
23. “When you blame and criticize others, you are avoiding some truth about yourself.”
24. “Imagine for a moment your own version of a perfect future. See yourself in that future with everything you could wish for at this very moment fulfilled. Now take the memory of that future and bring it here into the present. Let it influence how you will behave from this moment on.”
25. “We are here and now – that is a miracle.”
26. “The energy born of love is creative – it makes everything it touches new. To see how passionate you are, look around at what you have created.”
27. “Remember, in our inmost being, we are all completely lovable because spirit is love. Beyond what anyone can make you think or feel about yourself, your unconditioned spirit stands, shining with a love nothing can tarnish.”
28. “People who live their own love stories do not expect others to make them feel loved.”
29. “Spirit is passionate; without passion no one can be truly spiritual.”
30. “Your desire for your spiritual goals is enough to bring them about; on your inner landscape you are already working toward them.”
31. “From a spiritual viewpoint you are always a creator. The tiniest situation in your life is not made “out there” but “in here,”, from the source of reality, which is awareness.”
32. “When you can live with all your opposite qualities, you will be living your total self.”
33. “I must see my life as a work in progress. Nothing about me is ever final.”
34. “Love is the beginning of the journey, its end, and the journey itself.”
35. “Discover your own discontent, and be grateful, for without divine discontent there would be no creative force.”
