The playing fields and matrix of life / Part 2
Everything you seek is inside of you.
The love we give away is the only love we keep.
We can no more do without spirituality than we can do without food, shelter, or clothing.
The more you recognize the immense good within you, the more you magnetize immense around you.
God turns you from one feeling to another and teaches by means of opposites so that you will have two wings to fly, not one.
Wealth consists not in having great possessions, but in having few wants.
Every criticism, judgment, diagnosis, and expression of anger is the tragic expression of an unmet need.
The song we’re composing already exists in potential. Our work is to find it.
Man maintains his balance, poise, and sense of security only as he is moving forward.
The outer conditions of a person's life will always be found to be harmoniously related to his inner state... Men do not attract that which they want, but that which they are.
Life is at its best when love, money, and creativity are growing in harmony.
The aim is to balance the terror of being alive with the wonder of being alive.
You cannot live just as a body. That’s what Jesus means when he says, “Man cannot live by bread alone”—but this is only half the truth. You need consciousness, you cannot live by bread alone, true—but you cannot live without bread, either. You have both dimensions to your being, and both dimensions have to be fulfilled, to be given equal opportunity for growth.
Balance, that's the secret, moderate extremism.
Prosperity is the ability to do what you want to do at the instant you want to do it.
Happiness is a state of inner fulfillment, not the gratification of inexhaustible desires for outward things.
People seem to be more motivated by the thought of losing something than by the thought of gaining something of equal value.
Happiness is not a matter of intensity but of balance, order, rhythm and harmony.
You are in a much better position to serve others when your basic needs are met and your “tank is full”.
Around the world–even in some of the countries most troubled by poverty or civil war or pollution–many thoughtful people are making a deep, concerted search for a way to live in harmony with each other and the earth. Their efforts, which rarely reach the headlines, are among the most important events occurring today. Sometimes these people call themselves peace workers, at other times environmentalists, but most of the time they work in humble anonymity. They are simply quiet people changing the world by changing themselves.
So, while you are young you must begin to find out what is this strange thing called happiness. That is an essential part of education.
Nothing can bring you peace but yourself.
Are you willing to increase the amount of time every day that you feel good inside?
