It's not about curing the disease, but healing the life; then the physical benefits come.
Bernie SiegelOne cannot get through life without pain...What we can do is choose how to use the pain life presents to us.
Bernie SiegelWhen guilt rears its ugly head confront it, discuss it and let it go. The past is over. It is time to ask what can we do right, not what did we do wrong. Forgive yourself and move on.
Bernie SiegelI wish medical schools helped us to analyze our healthy and unhealthy reasons for becoming doctors.
Bernie SiegelDo not go looking for problems to feed your soul. Just let life be your teacher. It will nourish you with its inevitable difficulties. How will you know whether you are letting life teach you and nourish you? If your physical senses become more sensitive to the beauty you see, the words of love you hear, and the life you feel touching your body and soul, then you know you have discovered the great value of misfortune.
