More Quotes by Alan Cohen
The door you open to give love is the very one through which love arrives.
Since you are the one who has to live with your choices, be sure they are your own.
The people who matter will recognize who you are.
Happy people do not demand a lot from the world because their happiness proceeds from a place deeper than the world can touch.
Quit planning your dream and start living it
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!
Personal growth is not a matter of learning new information but of unlearning old limits.
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.
Use pain as a stepping stone, not a camp ground.
