Although our package of skin and bones looks very convincing, it is a mask, an illusion, disguising our true self, which has no limitations.
Deepak ChopraThe best way to motivate other people to help YOU fulfil your goals is to help them fulfil THEIR goals
Deepak ChopraWe may experience a realization of our true Self the first time we meditate, but most often the process of awakening is gradual.
Deepak ChopraThe intention behind our giving and receiving is the most important thing. When the act of giving is joyful, when it is unconditional and from the heart, then the energy behind the giving increases many times over. But if we give grudgingly, there is no energy behind that giving. If we feel we have lost something through the act of giving, then the gift is not truly given and will not cause increase.
Deepak ChopraSuccess is the ability to meet worthy goals, but it's also the ability to love and have compassion and the ability to get in touch with your creative center, to transform yourself toward more peaceful and just pursuits. I hope we redefine success. Otherwise, we'll see more of what we're already seeing - more aggression, more burnout, more Wall Street scandals, more war, more terrorism, more eco-destruction.
