More Quotes by Alan Cohen
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.
The people who matter will recognize who you are.
Sometimes when things seem to be going wrong, they are going right for reasons you are yet to understand.
Upgrade your past by seeing it with appreciation.
Since you are the one who has to live with your choices, be sure they are your own.
Be happy with what you have. Be excited about what you want.
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!
Quit planning your dream and start living it
Those who love you are not fooled by mistakes you have made or dark images you hold about yourself. They remember your beauty when you feel ugly; your wholeness when you are broken; your innocence when you feel guilty; and your purpose when you are confused.
Be kind to everyone, and don't leave yourself out of the equation.
