Don Miguel Ángel Ruiz (born August 27, 1952), better known as Don Miguel Ruiz, is a Mexican author of Toltec spiritualist and neoshamanistic texts.
Love is ruthless; it doesn't feel sorry for anyone, but it does have compassion. Fear is full of pity; it feels sorry for everyone.
I no longer agree to treat myself with disrespect. Every time a self-critical thought comes to mind, I will forgive the Judge and follow this comment with words of praise, self-acceptance, and love.
When you look in the mirror and hate what you see, you need addictions to survive.
What makes me the happiest are the times I get together with my family, those times when I am with my children, grandchildren, my brothers and sisters and my very close friends, as well as when I am with my extended family in each one of my lectures and power journeys. My greatest joy is just to be alive!
We only see what we want to see, and hear what we want to hear
If we look at human society we see a place so difficult to live in because it is ruled by fear.
When you love without conditions, you the human and you the God, align with the spirit of life moving through you.
You know that if you lie to yourself, surely other people lie to themselves. And if they lie to themselves, they will lie to you also.
You find that the injustice that created a wound is no longer true, right now, in this moment.
There are many ways that we hurt ourselves when we don't like who we are.
When we respect ourselves, our lives change because the conflict in our mind ends. Then the relationship with our beloved also changes, and there will be peace in our family, in our friendships, in our community, and so on. Just imagine what kind of planet this would be if everybody respected themselves and everybody else?
There is nothing to do except to be just who you are. You have the right to feel beautiful and enjoy it.
Don't take anything personally. Nothing others do is because of you.
If you always do your best there is no way you can judge yourself.
Life brings you exactly what you need.
God is life. God is life in action. The best way to say, "I love you, God," is to live your life doing your best. The best way to say, "Thank you, God," is by letting go of the past and living in the present moment, right here and now. Whatever life takes away from you, let it go. When you surrender and let go of the past, you allow yourself to be fully alive in the moment. Letting go of the past means you can enjoy the dream that is happening right now.
The voice in your head is like a wild horse taking you wherever it wants to go. . . When the voice in your head finally stops talking, you experience inner peace.
Selfishness comes from poverty in the heart, from the belief that love is not abundant.
I will no longer allow anyone to manipulate my mind and control my life in the name of love.
The only reason you are happy is because you choose to be happy. Happiness is a choice, and so is suffering.
