Your vision will become clear only when you can look into your own heart.  Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakens.  Carl Jung

Make no mistake about it – enlightenment is a destructive process.  It has nothing to do with becoming better or being happier.  Enlightenment is the crumbling away of untruth.  It’s seeing through the façade of pretense.  It’s the complete eradication of everything we imagined to be true.  Adyashanti

Once I stopped listening to what others were telling me to do and followed my own heart, I realized who I truly was.  Unknown

Ignoring your passion is slow suicide.  Never ignore what your heart pumps for.  Mold your career around your lifestyle, not your lifestyle around your career.  Kevin Claiborne

If you plan on being anything less than you are capable of being, you will probably be unhappy all the days of your life.   Abraham Maslow

Do not look for happiness outside yourself.  The awakened see happiness inside.  Peter Deunov

People say “Everything happens for a reason.”  That “reason” is to decide what you will do with what you have right now; not what you thought you’d have, not what you were promised but didn’t get, not what you hope to have one day, but what you have right here, right now.  The more you can keep attention on that, the greater the creations within your life will be.  Make the most of every moment.  Doe Zantamata

Ego says: “Once everything falls into place, I’ll feel peace.”  Spirit says: “Find your peace, and then everything will fall into place.”  Marianne Williamson

At the center of your being, you have the answer.  You know who you are and you know what you want.  Lao Tzu

According to Vedanta, there are only two symptoms of enlightenment, just two indications that a transformation is taking place within you toward a higher consciousness.  The first symptom is that you stop worrying.  Things don’t bother you anymore.  You become light-hearted and full of joy.  The second symptom is that you encounter more and more meaningful coincidences in your life, more and more synchronicities.  And this accelerates to the point where you actually experience the miraculous.  Deepak Chopra

No to Drama

Whatever we choose to focus on is what we will see manifested in our lives. Joel Osteen

Drama does not just walk into our lives.  Either we create it, invite it, or associate with it.  Brandi L. Bates

So many people prefer to live in drama because it’s comfortable.  It’s like someone staying in a bad marriage or relationship.  It’s actually easier to stay because they know what to expect every day, versus leaving and not knowing what to expect.  Ellen DeGeneres

You can’t be in the middle of picking yourself up and pick somebody else up at the same time.  Alyssa Mayer

Never let life impede on your ability to manifest your dreams.  Dig deeper into your dreams and deeper into yourself and believe that anything is possible, and make it happen.  Corin Nemec

For the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself, “If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?”  And whenever the answer has been ‘No’ for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something.  Steve Jobs.
