Deepak ChopraI think everybody plays a role in their own aging. Some people accelerate it. Some people slow it down. Some people manage to reverse it. It all depends on how much you are invested in the hypnosis of our social condition. So if you believe that at a certain age you have to die and you become dysfunctional, then you will.
Deepak ChopraSee the world as if for the first time; see it through the eyes of a child, and you will suddenly find that you are free.
Deepak ChopraThere is a creative solution to every problem. Every possibility holds the promise of abundance.
Deepak ChopraWhen we meditate, we go beyond the swirl of thoughts, memories and emotions that tend to keep us stuck in our ego's story of who we are. We enter an expanded state of awareness and discover our own inner fountain of joy, a source of happiness that isn't dependent on anyone or anything.
