More Quotes by Alan Cohen
Since you are the one who has to live with your choices, be sure they are your own.
A life without change is not a life; it is a stagnant pool.
It is not selfish to be happy. It is your highest purpose. Your joy is the greatest contribution you can make to life on the planet. A heart at peace with its owner blesses everyone it touches.
We believe we are hurt when we don't receive love. But that is not what hurts us. Our pain comes when we do not give love. We were born to love. You might say that we are divinely created love machines. We function most powerfully when we are giving love. The world has led us to believe that our wellbeing is dependent on other people loving us. But this is kind of upside down thinking that has caused so many of our problems. The truth is our well being is dependent on our giving love. It is not about what comes back; it is about what goes out!
Life is a gift from God, an unlimited series of opportunities to find the good in ourselves and others. There is good in everything, if we are willing to see it.
Be happy with what you have. Be excited about what you want.
You don’t need to get anyone else to agree with your truth. You just need to live it.
Upgrade your past by seeing it with appreciation.
Revisit your past only to recognize how far you have come.
Use pain as a stepping stone, not a camp ground.
