Revolutions are not made with rosewater.
The quality of your life is determined by the focus of your attention.
Here is my wish for you and every other child, woman, and man on the face of the earth: Spend one week saying only kind, caring things to yourself. Say thank you at least ten times an hour, direct five toward yourself and five to the world at large. Compliment yourself (and others) each time an effort is made. Notice all the wonderful qualities and characteristics about yourself and those around you. One week. You will never go back. And your whole life will be a glorious meditation.
If you had a person in your life treating you the way you treat yourself, you would have gotten rid of them a long time ago.
Feeling bad is not a requirement; it’s something we agree to. Cut it loose!
You have been taught that there is something wrong with you and that you are imperfect, but there isn't and you're not.
When you're experiencing peace, it's coming from within you; you're 'doing' peace and this is true of anything else you might be looking for. Love, happiness, contentment, well-being come from within. Nothing external needs to change for you to have what you want. . . . . If you want to be happier - be happier. If you want to be more relaxed - relax. If you want more friends - be friendly. Sounds simple. It is.
I'm an actor who's accustomed to bringing a lot of stuff to the table, and you have to be ready because some of them will be accepted and some of them will be rejected. Then you need a generous, free, fearless, loving director like Tarantino to allow you to take those risks.
Mass demand has been created almost entirely through the development of advertising.
Not only do you want to leave the audience wanting more, you want to leave yourself wanting more.
Change does not fail to occur because of insincerity. The heart patient is not insincere about his wish to keep living, even as he reaches for another cigarette. Change fails to occur because we mean both things. It fails to occur because we are a living contradiction.
