Some people live as though they are already dead. There are people moving around us who are consumed by their past, terrified of their future, and stuck in their anger and jealousy. They are not alive; they are just walking corpses.

Anxiety, the illness of our time, comes primarily from our inability to dwell in the present moment.

You are like a candle. Imagine you are sending light out all around you. All your words, thoughts and actions are going in many directions. If you say something kind, your kind words go in many directions, and you yourself go with them. We are ...transforming and continuing in a different form at every moment.

Because of your smile, you make life more beautiful.

Take my hand. We will walk. We will only walk. We will enjoy our walk without thinking of arriving anywhere.

You must love in such a way that the person you love feels free.

At any moment, you have a choice, that either leads you closer to your spirit or further away from it.

Breath is the bridge which connects life to consciousness, which unites your body to your thoughts. Whenever your mind becomes scattered, use your breath as the means to take hold of your mind again.

To be beautiful means to be yourself.You don't need to be accepted by others. You need to accept yourself. When you are born a lotus flower, be a beautiful lotus flower, don't try to be a magnolia flower. If you crave acceptance and recognition and try to change yourself to fit what other people want you to be, you will suffer all your life. True happiness and true power lie in understanding yourself, accepting yourself, having confidence in yourself.

The moment you understand the importance of loving yourself, you will stop hurting others.
