" Meaning doesn't lie in things. Meaning lies in us. When we attach value to things that aren't love - the money, the car, the house, the prestige - we are loving things that can't love us back. We are searching for meaning in the meaningless. Money, of itself, means nothing. Material things, of themselves, mean nothing. It's not that they're bad. It's that they're nothing."
" What you see is highly interrelated with who you are. You can't go very far in changing your 'seeing' without simultaneously changing your 'being' and vise versa. The way you see the world is a reflection of who you are."
" Give is an unselfish act; it tells who you are and how much selfishness there is in your heart. Giving unconditionally, in all aspects of your life, is an act of love which fills your spirit with peace and your world with blessings."
" The whole point of being alive is to evolve into the complete person you were intended to be. Passion is energy. Feel the power that comes from focusing on what excites you. The more you praise and celebrate your life, the more there is in life to celebrate. I know for sure that what we dwell on is who we become. Breathe. Let go. And remind yourself that this very moment is the only one you know you have for sure." ---- Oprah Winfrey
" All of our behavior results from the thoughts that preceded it. So the thing to work on is not your behavior but the thing that caused your behavior, your thoughts." --- Dr. Wayne Dyer
" Understanding: We really have to understand the person we want to love. If our love is only a will to possess, it is not love. If we only think of ourselves, know only your needs and ignore the needs of the other person, we cannot love." ---- Thich Nhat
